The B.S. program in Applied Mathematics shares many basic features with the B.S. program in Mathematics. The primary difference is that this program includes a strong interdisciplinary concentration in a related field. The applied concentration, which must be approved by a student’s adviser, should be structured to promote specific career or educational objectives.

Undergraduate research opportunities include:

• ÌýSociety for Industrial and Applied MathematicsÌý
• NC State Research Experiences for Undergraduates in MathematicsÌý
• The Mathematical Biology Research Training GroupÌý
• Industrial Mathematical & Statistical Modeling (​IMSM​) Program by SAMSI
• Study abroad opportunities in applied mathematicsÌý
• SUM Club
