My Natural Science/Math plan

[FinancialWorld]

SUNY ESC's math courses are good, but other than Real Analysis, the UL ones are applied math or are found elsewhere.

Anyone who wants a math degree or an applied math degree via distance learning would be best served looking at the University of South Africa, and if you want Math and Economics, the University of London International.The University of Illinois-Springfield is a good stateside option that is pretty rigorous.

I'd actually say get a bachelors quick and then go for a masters in something applied subject.

Here's a masters in applied economics:
2011 - 2013 UND Academic Catalog | Registrar | Academics | The University of North Dakota

And here's a master's in applied mathematics:
UW Online Master's in Applied Mathematics

I'd recommend getting a Bachelors quick and spending more time, money, and energy on the grad part. Just my thoughts. Sorry to change subject.

That UW applied math program is very interesting (UW is one of the better schools for applied math), but even with an inexpensive bachelor's it's still a lot of money (over 20K for that UW degree alone ).


The Nat Sci & Math BA at TESC can be excellent preparation for an applied math grad program, but it depends on the courses you take (I'd recommend some physics courses that use calculus and calculus-based statistics as well as pure math), but if you do it right it's not really like a general business or psychology degree where you can blow through almost everything via testing.

I'd suggest taking (at a minimum) Calc I-III, Linear Algebra, Diff Eq, Probability and Discrete Math as prep for applied math, and preferably some calculus-based physics courses as well. Mathematical econ would alsi be good if you can find such a course.


Applied Econ is not the same thing as Applied Math- usually only someone who wants to be an economist should do a grad degree in economics, and you don't need the same preparation for that degree as you do an Applied Math degree- maybe just calculus, statistics, intermediate macro and micro and econometrics.
