The Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Modeling for Business is a unique and innovative program that integrates computer skills and mathematical theory with practical applications in economics, finance and general business. This multi-disciplinary program, co-sponsored with Maryville’s John E. Simon School of Business, enhances the employment opportunities of mathematically oriented students in a wide variety of fields in the world of business and finance.

 

Possessing strong mathematical skills provides an enormous advantage in today's business environment.  The top five careers in the Jobs Rated Almanac (published by World Almanac) all involve mathematics, statistics or computer Science. At Maryville University, our programs in the Mathematical Sciences are career oriented, with the express purpose of preparing students for satisfying and rewarding professionals in business and education. Maryville students with an aptitude for mathematical thinking will learn to engage in rigorous and creative problem solving across a wide range of disciplines, developing the skills to enter these top-rated careers.

The major in Mathematical Modeling for Business is designed to prepare students with an interest in mathematics for a variety of careers in finance and investments, marketing, statistics and business systems analysis.  Mathematical modeling for Business, built on many of the same courses as the Actuarial Science program, is a unique and innovative approach toward training students for business careers in the information age. Computer training begins in the freshman year and is integrated throughout the curriculum. Students quickly achieve the necessary skills to apply technology, both in the classroom and in the workplace.

Over the years, we have established strong ties with the local actuarial and business community.  Some of our classes are taught by practicing actuaries and computer professionals. Even before graduation, many students work at businesses, insurance companies and actuarial consulting firms, either through internships or cooperative education, thus gaining valuable on-the-job experience.  Employers compete to hire our students, and opportunities abound in the St. Louis area and elsewhere.
