Program Description

The baccalaureate degree program in Applied Mathematics at Simmons College of Kentucky is designed to provide students with an understanding of the theory of many different areas of mathematics so that they are positioned to apply it in many fields. While they will be prepared to enter a graduate program, the program emphasis is preparing students to be immediately employable in discipline related fields upon receiving the undergraduate degree.

Program Objectives

Upon completion of this program students will be able to:

Solve problems relating to calculus, algebra, probability, and statistics
Demonstrate mathematical and critical thinking, including logical reasoning, formal proof development, generalizations, and applications
Communicate mathematical ideas with clarity and accuracy, both written and verbally
Apply mathematical techniques to areas outside of mathematics. In particular, students will be able to utilize these ideas for the betterment of their community and apply math skills in their vocation as an agent of change.
