Reflecting the scientific environment at Georgia Tech, the bachelor's program in applied mathematics trains students in the traditional core mathematics curriculum, as well as in its applications. The undergraduate program is sufficiently flexible to accommodate the wide variety of interests of undergraduate majors, and yet, by its scientific breadth, it prepares the student for the extensive employment opportunities that exist for applied mathematicians. Students are encouraged to develop an expertise in another field related to mathematics. This can be accomplished by developing a program of study involving technical electives and an appropriate concentration within mathematics. Some of the more popular fields include physics, computer science, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, operations research, and economics. The School of Mathematics has a large, well-networked computer lab that is utilized in courses throughout the undergraduate curriculum.

In addition to the institutional requirement of maintaning at least a 2.0 grade point average for the entire academic program, the School of Mathematics requires a C or better in each of MATH 4107, 4317, 4318, and 4320. Students may count no more than 2 hours of coursework in physical education toward graduation. Only free electives and MATH 4999 in the degree program may be taken on a pass/fail basis, and no more than 9 hours are allowed under this option.
