Computational and Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Operations Research Track (BS in Computational and Applied Mathematics and Statistics)

The CAMS Operations Research major gives students skills to build mathematical models of complex systems using tools introduced in various Mathematics, Business, Computer Science, and Data Science classes. The required classes build foundational skills in model building, linear programming, stochastic modeling, probability, and statistics. Elective courses include supply chain optimization, lean six sigma, machine learning, graph theory, mathematical statistics, and statistical learning.

Minimum Course Pre-requisites

Note: other prerequisite courses may be needed depending upon elective courses selected.

Major Writing Requirement

The upper-division writing requirement is satisfied by one of the following ways:
• Completion of MATH 352 Statistical Data Analysis or MATH 455 Statistical Learning or MATH 459 Topics in Statistics with a grade of C- or better, or
• CAMS 495 Honors and CAMS 496 Honors which requires the writing of an Honors thesis.

Note:
With approval from the Operations Research Track director and/or the CAMS director, students may petition to replace one elective requirement with one or more independent study or research credits, including CAMS 495 496 Honors, which must total 3 credits. Permission may be granted if the research content is considered equivalent to the elective requirement.
