The goal of this program is to address the needs of people who have work experience in technical or quantitative fields; people with undergraduate degrees in mathematics, science, business, or related areas; or people who simply wish to increase their level of skills and expertise in computing and applied mathematics.

Students work with an advisor to select a schedule of courses tailored to their personal interests and goals. A specialization will be selected in either computer science, applied mathematics, or with the help of their advisor, in both disciplines. Thesis and non-thesis options are available. The emphasis throughout the curriculum is on the real-world problems and applications likely to be encountered in business and industry.
