Mathematics is everywhere in the world, and the applied mathematics major provides you with the ability to put the critical thinking and problem-solving skills developed through mathematical reasoning to use in another area of interest to you. This major is particularly appropriate if you enjoy mathematics and are interested in pursuing a career in business or industry.
Applied math majors form a diverse intellectual group, with fields of application ranging from business and chemistry to art and computer science, among many others. The one thing our applied math students have in common is their ability to apply their strong mathematical thinking and reasoning skills to offer unique insights and problem-solving approaches in their chosen fields of application.
As an applied math major at Franklin College, project-based coursework, carefully crafted co-curricular experiences, and a professional internship will help you build a portfolio of meaningful experiences that will make you stand out from others after graduation.
