Use investigative expertise in tandem with traditional methods to explore today's challenges, and hone your critical thinking, communication, quantitative reasoning and statistical inference skills.
Students in the Bachelor of Science program in applied quantitative science learn to integrate and apply STEM-supported skills that are increasingly in demand for future-focused careers. Students develop six habits of mind, which are mental practices that become more ingrained as they advance through the curriculum and continue into their professional careers.
Students learn to:
- apply and project quantitative reasoning to unfamiliar contexts
- communicate well within and without the expert domain
- critically and adaptably think about complex problems
- effectively search through and evaluate information
- experiment creatively and in an informed manner in search of new insights
- use sophisticated insight involving statistical inference and quantitative reasoning
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 24 months. This OPT work authorization period may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
