BSc in
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Concentration in Scientific Computing Southeastern Louisiana University - College of Science and Technology

Introduction
The overall educational objective of the Mathematics undergraduate degree program is to provide students with the opportunity to develop their analytical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and problem-solving skills that will prepare them to succeed in either graduate school or in a variety of careers in business, industry, government, or teaching.
Scientific computing is a highly sought-after field in the industry. It focuses on the analysis of large volumes of data. Students learn cutting-edge science by developing and analyzing mathematical and statistical models, implementing and expediting computer algorithms for solving problems, and running computer simulations.
