The B.Sc. in Applications of Mathematics at KPU's Surrey campus offers students three distinct concentrations: Biomathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Mathematics Education.
Program Overview
Biomathematics Concentration
This option equips students for careers in the rapidly expanding field of biomathematics, focusing on modeling and biological applications of mathematics.
Computational Mathematics Concentration
Highly customizable, this concentration combines mathematics and computer science as its foundation, allowing students the flexibility to specialize in their areas of interest.
Mathematics Education Concentration
Students in this stream will gain broad scientific knowledge through coursework in physics, biology, and computer science. They will also explore the theory and practice of education, with a focus on mathematics.
All students, regardless of their chosen concentration, will complete a core set of applied mathematics courses and have the opportunity to undertake a senior capstone project involving independent research in a chosen area of interest.
Career and Academic Pathways
Graduates of this program are well-prepared to pursue careers, teacher education programs, or advanced studies in mathematical fields or mathematics education.
