This curriculum is especially well suited to the needs of engineering and scientific companies. Graduates of the AMCS program will have unique interdisciplinary qualifications to allow them to compete successfully for the many industrial positions that call for strong mathematics backgrounds supplemented by good computing skills.

They are also likely to be well-qualified for many positions typically taken by graduates with normal computer science or mathematics degrees. Evidence of the demand for AMCS graduates can be found in national and regional statistics and from assessments from a variety of sources. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that several million people are employed in computing-related job categories for which AMCS graduates will be well-suited, and significant employment growth is anticipated in all technical categories.
