Career Paths in the Mathematical Sciences

Description

This workshop is intended to give undergraduates who are planning to enter graduate programs in a quantitative science (e.g. math, applied math, statistics, biostatistics, data science, financial mathematics, etc.) an understanding of a variety of application areas and career paths in the mathematical sciences. Students must be nominated to attend by faculty mentors who have agreed to guide them through the process of applying to graduate programs; both students and mentors will be invited to attend. The workshop will include plenary lectures, panel discussions, active learning modules, networking opportunities, and social events.

Students are eligible to be nominated to attend if

• they are expected to graduate with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a mathematical or statistical science from a U.S. institution by the summer of 2025,
• they plan to enter a graduate program in a quantitative science in the U.S. in the fall of 2025, and
• they have a faculty mentor who has agreed to guide them through the process of applying to graduate programs.

This workshop is intended for students whose background and experience have only given them limited exposure to the opportunities which will be covered. Applications for this event have closed.
