应用数学和统计学的本科课程旨在为数学导向的学生提供解决定量问题的自由教育。该计划的课程调查了政府，工业和科学界的分析人员和研究人员当前使用的各种数学理论和技术。许多应用数学课程为学生提供了使用校园计算设备开发问题解决技术的机会。大约一半的应用数学专业的学生进入研究生或专业课程，主要是统计学，运筹学，计算机科学和业务管理。其他人则直接进入精算师，程序员分析师，管理培训和中学教师的职业生涯。
The Applied Mathematics and Statistics (AMS) major is a professional B.S. program that prepares graduates for quantitative careers in business and industry with a toolkit of applicable mathematical techniques and problem-solving strategies primarily drawn from probability and statistics, operations research, and actuarial mathematics. Many AMS students choose to combine AMS with an additional major or minor. Students can plan programs of study according to their career plans and interests, in various areas of applied mathematics and statistics. In addition, some students may consider accelerated programs that combine B.S. with a Master's program. While some career-oriented course sequences are listed below, students are strongly encouraged to seek faculty advice in coordinating their career plans with their academic programs. In the spring of their junior year, all students contemplating graduate studies, upon graduation or at a later date, should consult with the Department's graduate placement advisor, who assists them in choice of schools and provides information about Graduate Record Examinations, etc. Students considering secondary school mathematics teaching can major in Applied Mathematics and Statistics or in Mathematics.
