The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that computational science is one of the top five up-and-coming majors. A Bachelor of Science in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics offers preparation for careers in fields like engineering, business, and actuarial science. It readies students interested in graduate studies in applied mathematics or statistics and provides opportunities to join a variety of interdisciplinary research teams.<br><br>The Department of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics (ACMS) offers programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics. Computational skills, which are often required to solve real-world problems, will be developed continuously throughout the curriculum. For many students, significant work in an area of application will complement their core studies. Graduates of the program will be well prepared for the following opportunities:<br><br> Employment in technical fields requiring skills in statistics and computation<br> Employment and further study in quantitative methods in business and economics<br> Further training in professional master's or doctoral programs in applied mathematics or statistics<br> Graduate study, at the master's or doctoral level, in bioinformatics or computational biology
