Applied Mathematics & Computer Science BS
When you graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science, you’ll be ready to tackle complex, technical challenges in fields where analytical math and computing power intersect.
This degree equips you with the skills employers value most: the ability to model problems, analyze data, design solutions and think with both precision and creativity.
What makes the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science program stand out is its flexibility. It blends the depth of a technical degree with the breadth of a liberal arts education. This allows you to shape your coursework around what inspires you.
With guidance from an advisor, you’ll choose your path. This includes taking math and computer science classes alongside electives in engineering, economics, statistics, or other scientific disciplines. By graduation, you’ll have a customized academic pathway and the problem-solving abilities to match.
You’ll learn across two dynamic colleges—UWM’s College of Engineering & Applied Science and the College of Letters & Science. This gives you the best of both worlds. To get started, simply apply through the College of Letters & Science.
