Students learn to integrate and apply STEM-supported skills that are increasingly in demand in the 21st century.
Graduates of the applied quantitative science degree program acquire six habits of mind, mental activity that becomes increasingly automatic over progress through the curriculum and extending into career development. They are able to:
- apply and project quantitative reasoning to unfamiliar contexts
- communicate well within and without the expert domain
- critically and adaptably think about complex problems
- effectively search through and evaluate information
- experiment creatively and in an informed manner in search of new insights
- use sophisticated insight involving statistical inference and quantitative reasoning
This program is offered as a stand-alone degree on the Polytechnic campus. Students pursuing degrees on all four metropolitan campuses can add this degree as a concurrent degree.
