Mathematics (BS)

Program Description

The BS in Mathematics at the Tandon School of Engineering is a degree in mathematics with an applied focus and a science and engineering component. Students in this program have the opportunity to pursue additional coursework in fields such as Computer Science, Robotics, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, and Electrical Engineering as part of their degree requirements.

Admissions

New York University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions supports the application process for all undergraduate programs at NYU. For additional information about undergraduate admissions, including application requirements, see How to Apply. 

Program Requirements

¹

Please see General Education Requirements for additional information. Note that EXPOS-UA 1 Writing as Inquiry and EXPOS-UA 22 Advanced Writing for Engineers do not count toward the Humanities and Social Sciences Elective requirement of 16 credits.

²

Interdisciplinary components involving two or more of the fields above will be considered. The courses comprising a math major’s engineering component must be approved in advance by an official Mathematics Department adviser. Please note that the courses listed in the sample engineering components are just samples of what can be taken. Students may choose to take alternate courses based on the other department's advisement for minor requirements.
