the graduate program in applied mathematics is interdisciplinary in nature and offers an individualized plan of study to meet the needs and career goals of the student.  the program combines a core curriculum in the department of mathematics blending analysis, linear algebra, and elective areas of study such as modeling, numerical analysis and statistics.

the capstone element of the program is a mathematics clinic, a research project in which the student applies mathematical, numerical, or statistical modeling methods to a problem related to the student's concentration. the mathematics clinic can be a team project and can involve faculty members from several departments.
