COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics at University of New Hampshire is a rigorous program designed to build strong analytical, computational, and problem-solving skills through a structured curriculum of about 80 major credits, with students required to earn at least a C- grade in all courses and maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0. The program begins with core mathematics courses such as Calculus I and II, multidimensional calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra, which form the foundation for understanding complex mathematical systems. Students also study mathematical proof to develop logical reasoning, along with statistics for analyzing data and uncertainty. Computational skills are emphasized through courses like MATLAB or engineering computing, numerical methods, and optimization, enabling students to solve real-world problems using algorithms and simulations. In addition, physics courses provide practical applications of mathematics in understanding natural systems, while computer science courses introduce programming and computational thinking, further strengthening technical abilities. Advanced coursework includes applied mathematics foundations, statistical computing, data mining, machine learning, nonlinear dynamics, probability, and combinatorics, allowing students to specialize based on their interests. The program culminates in a capstone experience such as a senior seminar, project, or thesis, where students apply their knowledge to research or real-world problems. Students also complete upper-level electives, including at least one 700-level course, to deepen their expertise. Overall, the program integrates theoretical mathematics with practical applications across science and technology, preparing graduates for careers in data analysis, engineering, finance, research, or for advanced study in mathematics and related fields.
