The applied mathematics concentration is designed for those students who intend to pursue careers in business, industry or government, this concentration provides them with a strong background in the foundations of applied mathematical methods. There are many career opportunities for students with a applied mathematics concentration with employers who are looking for people with the prerequisite mathematical background and ability.

The major in mathematics with the applied mathematics concentration requires 61 to 64 units completed with a grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher.
