Alert Good morning.

Commencement will be held on Page Terrace as scheduled this morning at 10 a.m.

In making the decision to hold the ceremony outdoors on campus despite the iffy weather, President Fox kept in mind the strong preference of the Class of 2013.

Family and friends attending today's ceremony should use their best judgment regarding rain gear. Since the grassy hillside could be slippery should it become wet, we encourage guests to wear appropriate footwear and as always exercise appropriate caution.

Congratulations to all those who will receive their degrees today, and deepest thanks to all the family and friends whose support helped them along the way.

School of Science Applied Mathematics

Applied mathematics explores the connections between mathematics and real world problems, and uses mathematics in studying and solving these problems. In this interdisciplinary major, students learn the techniques of modeling, analysis, algorithm development, and simulation as applied in their area of interest, whether it is engineering, computer science, biology, chemistry, physics, or economics. Coursework includes ordinary and partial differential equations, probability and statistics, linear and modern algebra, programming, numerical computing, and complex analysis.

dual degree program

Through our dual degree program in applied mathematics and engineering, Alexis is now working toward her Masters degree in Biomedical Engineering at UVa.

Students can pursue a BS with a major in applied mathematics in two ways, either at the College or through the Mary Baldwin College — University of Virginia dual degree program in Engineering. Students interested in the dual degree program must complete the calculus and physics sequence in their first year at the College.

Applied Mathematics is a part of MBC’s School of Science and is available through the College for Women and Adult Degree Program* in Staunton.
