USU’s undergraduate degree in mathematics is a versatile program where students have a large variety of options as they study different areas in mathematics. The department is a close-knit unit where students receive individual attention from faculty mentors and the opportunity to pursue undergraduate research.

Applied Mathematics Emphasis: The emphasis in applied mathematics prepares students for careers in industry as well as graduate school in pure/applied mathematics, statistics, computer science and engineering. Internship and paid undergraduate research opportunities are available in quantitative biology and ecology, mathematical engineering, computational and data science, business, finance and economics. Our alumni are employed in data- and technology-oriented private industry as well as federal and state research institutions. Students receive foundational grounding in theoretical mathematical sciences and application-oriented training in model development and analysis, dynamic and stochastic systems, asymptotic analysis, differential equations, computational techniques, complex variables, statistics, data science and interdisciplinary problem-solving. The program provides excellent preparation for advanced study in applied topics, and students are consistently accepted into top-tier graduate schools.
