Bachelor in Applied Mathematics and Statistics

Applied Mathematics and Statistics is offered as a four-year, English-taught bachelor's program at the State University of New York, Korea, located in Yeonsu-gu, South Korea, with intakes in both the spring and fall semesters. The discipline builds on calculus, linear algebra, and probability theory, then extends into statistical modeling, data analysis, and computational methods used to interpret patterns in numerical information. Students learn to formulate mathematical models, test hypotheses, and apply statistical software to problems drawn from finance, health, engineering, and the social sciences. Coursework typically progresses from core mathematics sequences into applied topics such as regression analysis, stochastic processes, mathematical statistics, and programming for data analysis. Many programs in this field also introduce students to optimization, actuarial mathematics, and machine learning fundamentals, since the tools of applied mathematics and statistics increasingly overlap with data science. Group projects and case studies are common, asking students to translate raw datasets into defensible conclusions and clear visual or written summaries. Graduates with a background in applied mathematics and statistics are prepared for roles such as data analyst, statistician, actuary, quantitative researcher, or risk analyst, and the training also supports further study in mathematics, statistics, economics, or data science at the graduate level. Because the field emphasizes rigorous quantitative reasoning, it is often paired with work in banking, insurance, technology, and public policy, where evidence-based decision making depends on sound statistical analysis. Delivered entirely in English at a campus with strong ties to its parent institution in New York, the program gives students a curriculum aligned with international standards in the discipline.
