UMass Boston
The Bachelor of Science degree offered by the Mathematics Department has two possible concentrations: Applied and Pure Math and Computational Math. The Applied and Pure Mathematics Concentration is the most “traditional” concentration and students pursuing it will have a solid foundation for various math careers ahead of them. Students interested in going to graduate school in fields like mathematics or physics or working on mathematical modeling in industry or research laboratories might want to consider the Applied and Pure Mathematics Concentration. The Computational Mathematics Concentration provides broad math education with an emphasis on computer and mathematical models as tools to solve real-world problems. Students graduating in this concentration would be qualified to look for jobs in actuarial companies, finance, the machine learning industry, or apply to grad schools in computational and data-driven sciences like computer science, engineering or medical research.
