About Mathematical Sciences in New Jersey Institute of Technology

Bridging the practical and the theoretical, Mathematical Sciences provides a strong foundation in the core areas of mathematics and empowers students to apply mathematical and statistical analysis to careers in research and development, medicine, computing, finance and other industries.

Mathematical Sciences majors are both highly analytical and boundlessly creative—they are problem solvers who take methodical, logic-driven approaches to complex projects. They support their conclusions with evidence and make for skilled researchers, business analysts, scientists, and programmers. Through specialized study in one of four areas of concentration (Applied Mathematics, Applied Statistics, Computational Mathematics, Mathematical Biology, or Mathematics of Finance and Actuarial Science), math majors are well equipped for a variety of graduate programs, professional schools, and careers.
