What sets Marist's Applied Mathematics program apart is its ability to be customizable based on your unique career goals. Whether your future lies in the hard sciences, computer sciences, research, or even writing, you’ll be well-prepared to enter the field and achieve career success. The Applied Mathematics curriculum is designed to be customizable based on your specific career goals and interests. This customization comes in the form of four unique interdisciplinary tracks.

The applied mathematics interdisciplinary minor offers an introduction to the process of modeling natural or social phenomena by mathematical systems. The goal of the interdisciplinary minor is to foster skills in the development of an appropriate variety of mathematical tools, to acquire an appreciation for the limitations of a given mathematical model and for modeling as a dynamic process, and to experience this process within a specific domain of application. The interdisciplinary minor has two tracks, the natural science emphasis and the social science emphasis. Either track is open to all students, regardless of major.

The undergraduate major in applied mathematics consists of at least 40 credits of mathematics and statistics courses. The Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to the Master of Arts (MA) and the Master of Science (thesis) (MS) degrees with a major in applied mathematics. Successful completion of the program will enhance the student's potential for a position in industry or government or for additional study. The program is flexible in order to meet the needs of students whose specializations may vary widely.

By its nature, applied mathematics is defined not by what it is but by what it does. It’s being able to use mathematics to solve real-life problems and make an impact in the world in areas such as engineering, industry, science, and human-centered problems.

Random variables, independence, and conditional probability; discrete and continuous distributions, moments, and distributions of several random variables. Topics in mathematical statistics: random sampling, point estimation, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, non-parametric tests, regression and correlation analyses; applications in engineering, industrial manufacturing, medicine, biology, and other fields. Prerequisite: CME 100/ENGR154 or MATH 51 or 52.

Due to the growing relevance of technology, big data, and economic efficiency, expert numerical analysts are increasingly in demand. While obtaining a degree in Applied Mathematics you will become a master of analysis and problem-solving, honing your quantitative skills. You can go beyond classroom learning and gain valuable experience through research opportunities and guaranteed internships.

People with strong mathematical skills are in demand and valued by employers and universities. Mathematics is a ‘must-have’ A-Level for degree-level study in Physical Sciences, Computer Science, all branches of Engineering and of course, Mathematics. If you are thinking of choosing Physics, Computer Science or Chemistry at A-Level, Mathematics should go with them.

The Associate of Science in Mathematical Sciences (ASMS) goal is to prepare students interested in pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) related fields.

The Double Mathematics course consists of completing the A Level Mathematics course in one year, leading on to complete the Further Mathematics A Level in the second year.

Yearn to create new things? Find crunching numbers fun? Enjoy science projects? The Associate of Science pathway parallels the first two years of a Bachelor of Science degree and is ideal for students wanting to pursue majors concentrating in science and mathematics. This degree leads to four-year programs in business, engineering, pre-dentistry, pre-medicine, mathematics, nursing, pre-physical therapy and more.
