Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with mathematical methods that find use in science, engineering, business, computer science, and industry. Thus, applied mathematics is a combination of mathematical science and specialized knowledge. The term "applied mathematics" also describes the professional specialty in which mathematicians work on practical problems by formulating and studying mathematical models. In the past, practical applications have motivated the development of mathematical theories, which then became the subject of study in pure mathematics where abstract concepts are studied for their own sake. The activity of applied mathematics is thus intimately connected with research in pure mathematics.

If you have multiple interests, are highly engaged, and learn best by doing, then an interdisciplinary studies degree may be for you. Interdisciplinary studies trains you to answer a question, solve a problem, or address a topic that is too broad or complex to be dealt with adequately by a single discipline.

Our Bachelor of Science in interdisciplinary studies will give you a broad education where you’ll acquire a diverse skill set. You’ll create your own program of study to meet your personal, academic, and professional goals.
