Applied Mathematics, Bachelor of Science (BS)

Program Description

Applied mathematics combines mathematical concepts and methods with different fields of study such as physics, engineering, biology, finance, or business to solve real-world problems. Applied mathematics can be thought of as the application of mathematics to real-world problems that arise in the physical, social and natural sciences, as well as in business and industry. The goal of applied mathematics is to explain and communicate observed phenomena and then apply specialized mathematical techniques to help predict yet unobserved phenomena.

Course Planning

1st and 2nd Year Courses or Areas of Study

CWU Course #	Transfer Course #
MATH 172	MATH& 151
MATH 173	MATH& 152
MATH 272	MATH& 153 or MATH& 163
MATH 273	MATH& 254 or MATH& 264
MATH 265	See TES
MATH 376	See TES

MATH& 153 + MATH& 254 = CWU MATH 272 & 273

MATH& 163 + MATH& 264 = CWU MATH 272 & 273

The Transfer Equivalency Site (TES) provides CWU equivalencies for courses at other colleges and universities.

Advising Notes

Any Washington state DTA (Direct Transfer Agreement) degree will satisfy all general education requirements.
Students must meet with an advisor in the mathematics department before being considered for major.
Admission requirements are completion of MATH 172 and MATH 173 with grades of C or higher.
Students must earn a minimum grade of C in any course that fulfills a major requirement.
Major requirements may change over time; students will be expected to meet the catalog requirements in place at the time they are admitted to the major.
