Dowling College's New B.S. in Applied Mathematics Prepares Students
For Careers in Specialized Growth Industries
Dowling College is pleased to announce its new B.S. in Applied
Mathematics degree program, which starts in the Fall 2008 semester. This
degree is designed to prepare students for employment in specialized
fields, requiring strong analytical skills within growing and/or new
industries such as bio-technology, engineering, economic analysis,
pharmaceutical research, aviation science and advanced scientific
computer programming. This degree is also designed to prepare students
to pursue graduate study in applied math.
The B.S. in Applied Mathematics has four tracks, including two that are
industry specific: aviation science and bioengineering; and the
following two applied mathematics concentrations that are desirable in
many growth industries: computational mathematics and mathematical
economics.
Career preparation in the above-named fields is an important feature of
this new program. "Growth and new industries are the target markets
for students in this program," said Paul Abramson, Dean of the School
of Arts and Sciences.
"The knowledge gained by students who successfully complete this new
program will be essential for many industries across Long Island and the
region," said Provost Linda Ardito, who adds, "Our new program is
designed to enable students to excel in highly technical and
professional areas and to fill high-demand positions. Certainly there is
a growing need for well-educated professionals to fill such positions,
and I am confident that the graduates of this program will be prepared
to meet industry demands."
