Applied Mathematics
Note: As of August 1, 2021, we are no longer accepting students into this program.
The Applied Mathematics Certificate is designed to offer students who have completed the calculus sequence* and who have some programming experience** the opportunity to develop skills in applying mathematics.
| * | The calculus sequence (Calculus I-IV) is a prerequisite for most, but not all, of the upper-level mathematics courses. Check individual course descriptions to confirm prerequisites. |
| ** | An introductory programming course such as Math 133 Programming with Python is sufficient preparation. |
