The School of Mathematics offers a Business Option variant of the undergraduate degree program in Applied Mathematics. This option is designed for students who wish to acquire and document the skills and knowledge needed for success as a scientific entrepreneur. Students electing this option complete the degree requirements for the Applied Mathematics program, except that:

two of their social science electives must be PSYC 2220 Industrial/Organizational Psychology (3) and ECON 2106 Principles of Microeconomics (3);
two courses - MGT 3000 Financial and Managerial Accounting (3) and MGT 3300 Marketing Management I (3) - replace the 6 hours of engineering or science electives in the Applied Mathematics program; and
MGT 3150 Principles of Management (3) replaces 3 hours of free electives.

Completion of the Business Option is noted by the designation “Business Option” on the student’s transcript. For further information, consult a School of Mathematics advisor.
