Mathematical Sciences at ³Ô¹ÏÍø is about exploring the power of mathematics to solve real-world problems across many fields. Here, you’ll build a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics, then apply those skills to areas like computer science, biology, engineering, physics, chemistry, economics, psychology, or another field that excites you. This program is designed for students who want flexibility and breadth, whether you’re interested in research, technology, health, or business.

About Mathematical Sciences at FAU

At ³Ô¹ÏÍø Atlantic, you shape your mathematical sciences experience to match your goals. You’ll work closely with faculty advisors to design a program that fits your interests—choosing an area of emphasis and selecting upper-level courses that support your ambitions. The program’s flexibility means you can combine mathematics with another discipline, preparing you for careers or graduate study in a wide range of fields. If you’re considering pre-medicine, research, or a combined bachelor’s/master’s path, this concentration gives you the quantitative skills and interdisciplinary perspective to stand out.

Degrees Offered at ³Ô¹ÏÍø Atlantic

Undergraduate

• Concentration in Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences (within the Wilkes Honors College)

Concentration in Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences

Students must earn a "C" or better in each course taken to fulfill a concentration requirement.

Overview and Advisory Board

The Interdisciplinary Concentration in the Mathematical Sciences offers a great deal of breadth and flexibility for the design of quantitatively-based programs. Students choose an area of emphasis in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Biology, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Psychology, or another area negotiated with the advisor. The Interdisciplinary Concentration in the Mathematical Sciences may also be appropriate for a pre-medicine student interested in a quantitative program of study in the sciences.

Available Options: Concentration in Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences, with an Emphasis in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Biology, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Psychology, or another area negotiated with the advisor.

Electives:

Electives must be upper division. Minimum fifteen (15) upper division hours should be in the area of emphasis, and the additional three (3) should be any upper division course in mathematics. Students planning to pursue a 4+1 combined bachelor's/master's degree program may count up to 24 credits of required courses toward the Area of Emphasis. Upper-division electives should be selected from courses with the prefixes listed in the table below. Generally, students will complete additional science and mathematics courses, but the framework is minimal to allow a maximum of flexibility in designing individual programs. The student should work closely with the advisor in creating an appropriate program of study. Students are reminded that they need 42 upper-level (3000 or 4000-level) credits to graduate.
