Applied Mathematics Concentration

To prepare for a career in applied mathematics outside of academia, build your program around the skills that employers need: breath and depth in mathematics, communication and computational skills, knowledge of a relevant area outside of mathematics, and problem-solving ability. Choose areas that interest you and that are relevant to your probable future employment.
