The Bachelor of Science in applied mathematics to Master of Science in data science dual-degree program allows students to finish both an undergraduate degree and graduate degree Pacific in just five years. A total of 12 units is double counted toward both degrees, saving you a significant amount of time and financial savings. During the fifth and final year, the hybrid modality allows you to work and finish the master’s program at the same time.
Total time to BS and MS degrees: five years
12 units double count toward both degrees
Apply as an entering first-year or as a second-year applied mathematics major
“The dual degree in applied mathematics and data science equips students with the rare combination of rigorous mathematical foundations and cutting-edge computational skills. In just five years, graduates gain both the problem-solving mindset of a mathematician and the practical expertise of a data scientist. This powerful blend opens doors to high-demand careers in technology, finance, health care and beyond.”
-John Mayberry
Mathematics professor
Earning both a bachelor's in applied mathematics and a master's in data science will prepare you to jump into a wide range of careers across many different industries.
The MS Data Science program includes a capstone project where students gain hands-on experience with organizations such as the Sacramento Kings, Charles Schwab and Gallo Winery.
A dual degree in data science and mathematics will give you a significant advantage in a rapidly growing field. In California, jobs in these areas are projected to increase over 28% from 2021 to 2031, so you'll be well-prepared for a high-demand career.
