Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics

Mathematicians are at the forefront of combating some of the biggest challenges of our time — the climate crisis, natural resource management, and even the modeling behind predicting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The mathematics bachelor’s program prepares you in a diverse array of mathematical areas such as abstract analysis, modern algebra, probability and statistics, computational mathematics, data science, and more. You'll gain a broad background appropriate for the pursuit of a job in industry, while also attaining the depth and rigor required for graduate studies in mathematics or related fields.

In this program, you’ll develop the skills and understanding needed to utilize complex algorithms to predict and analyze uncertain events such as weather, develop cryptographic methods for secure communication, extract insights by exploring patterns and intelligible information from large datasets, study the dynamics of pharmaceuticals in the body, and even forecast public opinions.

Focus Areas

• Computational Mathematics of Continuous Systems

• Discrete Mathematics, Cryptography and Computations

• Statistics and Mathematics of Risk Management

The Stevens Advantage: Hands-On Learning, Real World Experience

At Stevens, we train scientists to think like engineers. Our research-oriented, hands-on educational approach encourages out-of-the-box thinking and imbues interdisciplinary understanding of the deep relationship between engineering and science. Learn more about what makes an engineering education from Stevens a unique experience:

• A Research-Focused Curriculum: a unique, research-oriented, hands-on approach to learning that embeds undergraduate students in research groups where they learn cutting-edge technology as a team

• Senior Research Capstone: a team or individual capstone project working on real research projects solving real world problems, potentially in collaboration with a real company

• State-of-the-Art Research Labs and Facilities: build, tinker and test your designs in Stevens' MakerCenter, Prototype and Object Fabrication Lab, or numerous other research facilities

• Undergraduate Research Opportunities: our research-oriented curriculum gives you in-the-lab experience while you're still an undergraduate student. Each department at the School of Engineering and Science offers students opportunities for research over the summer with a faculty member of your choice, and Stevens' interdisciplinary Undergraduate Research Program that enables you to get valuable lab experience with researchers across departments and schools within Stevens.
