Apply your passion and talent for math to business and industry as well as the biological, physical and social sciences. You'll gain useful tools and learn to build cross-disciplinary connections to help you solve today's challenges.
The Bachelor of Science program in applied mathematics is a cross-disciplinary offering that prepares you to become a strong problem-solver with broad mathematical skills. The program focuses on applying mathematics to challenges in a variety of scientific areas, including biology, physics and engineering.
You build a solid foundation in mathematical modeling and data analysis, with a focus on applying results to real-world situations. You can also shape your education by choosing electives in science and engineering, which adds practical, hands-on experience to your mathematical training.
With its broad and flexible design, the program helps you connect theory to practice, preparing you to contribute in science and technology. The number of high-tech companies in the Phoenix area is growing, providing you with valuable opportunities to meet industry leaders and explore career options before graduation.
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 24 months. This OPT work authorization period may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.

ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU® to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.
ASU has transfer partnerships in Arizona and across the country to create a simplified transfer experience for students. These pathway programs include exclusive benefits, tools and resources, and they help students save time and money in their college journey.
Students gain valuable experience when they study abroad, enhancing their resumes. Students often cite participating in Global Education programs as the highlight of their academic career and a crucial part of helping them gain a clearer view of the world and its peoples, and the complex challenges faced by populations globally.
The Global Education Office offers a suite of faculty-directed global experience programs designed to connect students with modern issues that impact local communities yet transect borders. Through any of the more than 300 programs available, students can see the world as they never have before and come away with memories to last a lifetime. Graduates who have the heightened cultural competency and strengthened leadership and critical thinking skills acquired through studying abroad may stand out in a competitive field.
The College of Integrative Sciences and Arts recommends these programs for students majoring in applied mathematics.
Graduates are prepared to apply their analytical skills and technical knowledge in a variety of careers in industry, government, education and the nonprofit sector. Some pursue advanced degrees in the mathematical sciences (e.g., mathematics, statistics and applied mathematics such as mathematical biology).
Example job titles and salaries listed below are not necessarily entry level, and students should take into consideration how years of experience and geographical location may affect pay scales. Some jobs also may require advanced degrees, certifications or state-specific licensure.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
