[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 on computer science, data science, actuarial science.

My son is the same -- loves math and statistics, hates science. He took the highest math available at his HS but never even took honors level sciences. He's at Virginia Tech majoring in Computational Modeling and Data Analytics, which is the undergraduate major in their Academy of Data Science. It's a mix of CS and stats/applied math. https://data.science.vt.edu/[/quote]

Forgive my ignorance but does this fall under the engineering school?[/quote]
At VT, it's under the school of science. However, you have to look at each school carefully because they all slice and dice their Computer Science/Electrical Engineering/Information Technology/Mathematical types of degrees differently based on historical development of programs at the school.

Also +2 on computer science, data science, actuarial science. With a math degree and focus on accounting, you can have your own business doing taxes, investment, and pension management for small companies. I have a friend who just retired at 55 after a very successful 30 year career as a small business owner serving other small businesses.[/quote]
