Florida Tech is known for small class sizes, a low student-to-faculty ratio and our close-knit, personalized learning community. You’ll find it easy to interact with professors for consultation and mentoring.

When you major in applied mathematics, you will choose a concentration to meet your interests and professional goals: artificial intelligence and data sciences, biomathematics or abstract mathematics.

In addition to the concentration, electives provide abundant opportunity for customizing your degree.

Because graduates with an applied mathematics degree are typically employed in scientific, engineering, business or government environments, knowing how to apply mathematics to the analysis and solution of real-world problems is critical.

There is no better way to develop these skills than by practicing them in the context of research. At Florida Tech, research is built into every major and all students plan, undertake and report on a research project.

Our math students also work alongside faculty in high-tech faculty research teams. By involving themselves in original research endeavors, our students are better able to conduct research after graduating college and in applied mathematics jobs.

Learn from faculty from a variety of backgrounds, with research interests and professional experiences that span the field of mathematics and its applications. They will teach your classes and serve as mentors.

The facilities and resources available to applied mathematics students are important at any university, and Florida Tech does not disappoint.

Besides the engineering and science labs available in other departments, applied mathematics students benefit from computer labs that feature sophisticated mathematical and statistical software packages, such as Wolfram Mathematica, MATLAB, R, SageMath and IBM SPSS.

These tools support computational research, data analysis and mathematical modeling, ensuring students have the technology needed for both academic and real-world applications.

Applied mathematics internships are exciting opportunities to apply the skills you have learned in your coursework to the real world. Florida Tech students have interned in a variety of industries and at a range of government agencies, including:

• The National Security Agency (NSA)
• NASA
• U.S. Department of Homeland Security
• Scripps Institution of Oceanography
