Program Overview: BS in Mathematical Sciences
The Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences at Western New England University provides broad training in important areas of pure and applied mathematics. Housed within the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences, the program prepares you for careers in a wide range of quantitative fields, from actuarial science and finance to data analysis and engineering.
The program is delivered by a vibrant community of 15 full-time faculty members who are dedicated to excellence in teaching and active research in areas such as statistics, applied mathematics, nonlinear waves, number theory, algebraic geometry, and the mathematics of origami. Classes are small, ensuring a high degree of student-professor interaction, and some faculty hold grants including NSF grants that support undergraduate research.
You will take courses in both theoretical and applied mathematics that emphasize problem solving, inductive and deductive reasoning, and mathematical modeling. Your capstone experience is a yearlong Senior Project in which you work closely with a faculty advisor on original research, culminating in a paper and a presentation at an undergraduate research conference.
