program description

the career accelerator is designed specifically for international students:

• four semesters of professional development and career guidance
• skills-based training and opportunities for exclusive internships
• unique workshops, real-world experiences and cross-cultural group work

the department of mathematics and statistics offers bachelor of science in mathematical sciences with a major in statistics.

the bachelor of science in mathematical sciences is a very broadly defined major that provides a core of applied mathematics, together with additional utilitarian knowledge from the fields of statistics and computer science, to provide tools to enable the graduate to implement practical solutions to mathematical problems typically encountered by educators, government officials, scientists, engineers, and other professionals. a graduate is expected to be able to pursue a career in science, industry, or business.

upon the graduation, students will be able to:

• demonstrate an understanding of the basic theoretical knowledge, the essential structures and computational techniques of linear algebra.
• demonstrate a core knowledge of elementary ordinary differential equations and classical partial differential equations, their applications, and their solutions by several well-understood techniques.
• apply a basic theoretical knowledge and computation techniques from the core areas of discrete mathematics, numerical
• analysis, theory of algorithms, and applied statistics.
• apply a knowledge of a high level programming language and the related computer systems in constructing computer programs to solve applied mathematical or statistical problems.
• use statistical software appropriately in performing statistical analyses.
