Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics

University of Tulsa

The mission of the Department of Mathematics is to provide students with an understanding of mathematical knowledge, methods, and analytical skills needed to pursue advanced degrees or careers requiring expertise in mathematics.The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics (B.S.A.M.) is offered with four options: computer sciences, engineering, biomathematics, and business. Each student must select one option and meet those requirements. The options provide a field of application for the mathematics student. All options carry the same mathematics requirement but differ in required supporting subjects. The applied mathematics program provides a solid foundation in undergraduate mathematics in preparation for graduate study or for a position in business or industry.Students who complete the undergraduate program in mathematics or applied mathematics will:Demonstrate the ability to apply algebraic, geometric, calculus and higher-order thinking, and statistical methods to modeling and solving real-world problems.Use mathematical reasoning skills and formal logic to develop convincing mathematical arguments.Use computational tools to enhance mathematical thinking and understanding, to solve mathematical problems, and to judge the reasonableness of the results.
