The College of New Jersey

What you'll study

Coursework starts with foundational mathematics and advances to applied topics that develop problem-solving and technical communication skills. Students may engage with subjects and research in areas such as biostatistics, knot theory, machine learning, financial analysis and pedagogical practice. Faculty research spans mathematics, applied mathematics, data science and statistics, and mathematics education, and undergraduates can pursue mentored research projects that introduce current mathematical techniques and investigative experience.

Entry requirements

The source material does not list specific admissions criteria for the specialization. Prospective students should follow the college's undergraduate admissions process for the BS in Mathematics and consult departmental advising for any program-specific placement or preparatory expectations.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for quantitatively oriented roles such as analyst, actuary, cryptographer, data scientist or statistician, and many go on to teach or pursue graduate and professional study. The program notes alumni employment with organizations like Bank of America, Deloitte, Pfizer, Prudential and the U.S. Geological Survey, and graduate study at institutions including Drexel, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Rowan and Tufts.

Scholarships & funding angle

While no specific scholarships are detailed in the programme description, students have access to faculty-mentored research programs (for example the MUSE summer program), internships and departmental advising that can support funded research and experiential learning; applicants should explore institutional scholarships, research stipends and internship funding through the college and the department.
