At other schools you might learn theory, but at Bentley, a bachelor of science degree in math is an applied degree. That's because students take both math and business courses. This combination, from one of the nation's top business schools, provides a strong theoretical and practical background.
The ability to think in quantitative terms, to reason analytically and to apply mathematical models to practical problems, is a valuable asset for those seeking careers in business and numerous other fields. The rapid development in computer technology has enabled businesses to use sophisticated methods to address a wide variety of problems in economics, finance, environmental management, marketing and organizational planning. Mathematical techniques have become as important in business as they are in the sciences.
The Mathematical Sciences Department offers a wide range of courses, most of which involve the fields of mathematics that are heavily used in business, such as actuarial mathematics, statistics and management science.
