  2. 239 Upper Division Credits: 39 credits
  3. 3Minimum Cumulative GPA: 2.0 or above
Requirements for the AMS Major

The major in applied mathematics and statistics leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. The following courses are required.

    1. 1Single-Variable Calculus
      • AMS 151
      • AMS 161 
      • Other options : MAT 125 & 126 & 127, or MAT 131 & 132, or MAT 141 & 142
    2. 2Linear Algebra
    3. 3Multivariable Calculus
      • AMS 261
      • Other options : MAT 203 or MAT 205
    4. 4Introductory Computer Programming
      • CSE 101 or 114
      • Other Options : MEC 101 & 102, or CSE 110, or CSE 130, or MAT 331, or PHY 277, or ESE 124, or ESG 111, or ISE 108, or BME 120, or any other computer programming course at Stony Brook or at another institution: the languages used in such a course should be C, C++, Java, or a comparable language.
    1. 1Core Upper Division Courses
      • AMS 301
      • AMS 310 (Students who have a strong background in probability or have credit for ECO 320 should take AMS 311 instead of AMS 310)
    2. 2Additional Core Upper Division Courses
    3. 3Upper Division Electives
      • Six additional courses (18 credits) of AMS courses numbered 301 level and above (including 500-level courses). At most, two of the six courses can be counted from the following courses: AMS 475, AMS 476, AMS 487, non-AMS upper division mathematically oriented courses.

        Note : Students should check with the AMS Department coordinator to ensure the non-AMS course you select will fulfill the AMS requirement.

    4. 4Upper Division Writing Requirement
      • AMS 300

        Note : This requirement can be replaced by the courses that fulfill SPK and WRTD requirements.

  • All courses taken to satisfy the Lower and Upper Division major requirements must be passed with a grade of A, B , or C.

The Stony Brook Curriculum (SBC)

The Stony Brook Curriculum includes both breadth and depth of study, and ensures that students will learn skills necessary for life-long learning. Use the course search to search for courses that complete SBC learning objectives. Through the general education curriculum, students will :

Students may reduce the number of courses needed to achieve the Stony Brook Curriculum learning objectives through university certified AP credit, courses certified in more than one area, challenge exams, on-campus placement tests, course waivers, and faculty-designed themed course clusters. In accordance with SUNY policy, at a minimum, students must complete at least 30 credits of General Education awarded by an institution of higher education. In order to satisfy the SBC learning objectives, a passing letter grade or a grade of S must be earned in the corresponding course.  Recorded grades of P, NC, U or F will not satisfy SBC learning objectives. LANG, WRT, and QPS learning objectives must be passed with a grade of C or higher.

A detailed list of the courses and activities that fulfill these objectives may be found in the university undergraduate Bulletin.  Many of the above requirements may be fulfilled as part of a student's major or minor.  For more information on the Stony Brook Curriculum in relation to SUNY General Education Requirements, see link.
