CAMS at W&M

The computational & applied mathematics & statistics (CAMS) program offers an interdisciplinary education that harnesses the expertise of faculty members across a spectrum of fields including biology, economics, computer science, neuroscience, mathematics, statistics, and operations research. There are two tracks within the program: applied statistics, combining a solid foundation in mathematics, statistics, and computer science with substantial hands-on knowledge in a particular application field; or mathematical biology, training you in mathematical modeling, analysis, and research in the biological sciences.

W&M iGEM team ranks in top 10 of undergraduate teams worldwide

"Being part of the 2024 W&M iGEM team and competing at the Grand Jamboree in Paris was one of the most challenging yet inspiring experiences of my life. I was pushed to quickly learn new coding languages and develop a software tool that supported our project's goals in ways I had never imagined. Being in Paris, meeting leaders in synthetic biology and witnessing our team's work being recognized made this an unforgettable journey." — Namit Nallapaneni '26, a computational & applied mathematics & statistics (CAMS) major from Glen Allen, Virginia

Outcomes

CAMS graduates are well-prepared for a diverse array of quantitative and computational careers. They possess a sought-after skillset that opens doors to many exciting career opportunities across government, business, graduate programs and the sciences. CAMS also has a successful track record for students interested in medical school through its mathematical biology track.

Hear from a Student

"I have truly enjoyed the flexibility and topics included in the CAMS Applied Statistics track. If you are interested in quantitative methods and would like to gain exposure to concepts and skills that are useful across contexts, I strongly recommend CAMS. In my junior year I began taking business classes that reinforced a practical approach on top of applied tools and a theoretical framework provided by CAMS. From computational aeronautics research to great conversations with professors, these experiences culminated in my decision to pursue an MS in Applied Economics and Management at Cornell following graduation." — Ian Kung '25, a computational & applied mathematics & statistics (CAMS) major.
