If you are an undergraduate student, you have or will have taken required courses for your major.  Beyond those, we suggest taking courses in other departments, for example, computer science, engineering, business, and economics.  These will be helpful to connect your mathematical sciences knowledge with applications.

For graduate students, we also suggest taking advanced undergraduate level or graduate level courses in other disciplines.
