Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Applied Statistics

UMass Dartmouth's Mathematics department offers both BA and BS degrees in mathematics with concentrations in applied statistics and applied & computational mathematics, as well as a degree in data science, taught jointly by the mathematics department and college of engineering.
With a core of courses covering randomness and reasoning under uncertainty, the applied statistics concentration emphasizes concepts, principles, and methodology needed for data analysis, decision making, and computing for applied problems that involve uncertainty.
Youll learn in-depth skills in mathematics and statistics to work as an applied statistician in a variety of industries, government, or nonprofit agencies, or for graduate studies. Youll also gain effective communication skills for the presentation of analysis or results.
Mathematicians are problem solvers and precise thinkers, applying their knowledge and skills in academia, government, industry, research, and technology. UMass Dartmouth's mathematics program provides a foundation in both the theoretical and applied aspects of mathematics, preparing you for a variety of careers, including: actuary, algorithm design, biostatistician, computer information systems, data science, defense analyst, economics, education, finance, game developer, government, insurance, manufacturing, medicine, mathematical modeling consultant, psychology, science computing, software development, and statistician. We offer teacher preparation for students who are interested in teaching math at the middle or high school level.
