The ACMS program is structured into a core and a set of options. The same set of core courses Quantitative reasoning, mathematical analysis, and computational methods are becoming ever more pervasive, both in industry and in research. This process is driven by the rapidly growing ability to collect, store, and process data. Consider a basic business activity - retail. Computerized cash registers with barcode scanners and retail over the Web allow automatic collection of vast amounts of purchase data. These data are used to manage inventories, measure the effect of product placement in stores, advertising, and Web site design, identify and target consumer groups, etc. Quantitative analysis is supplementing "gut feeling" as a basis for business decisions. The increasing importance of mathematical ideas and computational techniques in the sciences is exemplified by the transformation of biology. The image of a biologist solely as a scientist looking through a microscope in a lab or collecting samples in the field is no longer valid. A modern biologist is just as likely to explore the aerodynamics of insect flight using techniques from computational fluid dynamics or study the regulatory circuits of gene expression using the latest ideas from machine learning. The ACMS program aims at providing students with the background and the tools to be successful in this new environment.

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
