Applied Mathematical Sciences, Custom Emphasis, B.S.

Requirements for the Applied Mathematical Sciences Major

Applied Mathematical Sciences Requirements (80-82 units): In addition to General Education  and School of Natural Sciences Requirements , the Applied Mathematical Sciences major consists of 20 or 21 courses (10 lower division and 10 or 11 upper division, depending on the emphasis track chosen) designed to give all students a common foundation of core knowledge specific to the discipline, plus breadth in an application area.

Custom Emphasis

The student must complete between 18 and 20 units of approved course work toward the completion of an emphasis track. At least 11 of these 18 units must be upper division courses. Students may design their own emphasis track with approval from the faculty program leads for the Applied Mathematical Sciences major.

Transfer Students

To be admitted to the Applied Mathematical Sciences major transfer students must meet the following requirements:

Applicants will, at the time of admission have completed at minimum each of the following courses (or their equivalent) with a “C-” or better:

• CHEM 002: General Chemistry I [4.0 units]
