The School of Mathematics at
the University of Minnesota with the Institute for
Mathematics and its Applications, an NSF national institute,
offers several programs that provide training for students
who wish to seek careers in business and industry. The
programs are collaboratively administered by the Minnesota
Center for Industrial Mathematics and the Institute for
Mathematics and its Application. A key component of the
program is a required internship at a company during the
study. The internship serves several purposes: (1) it
broadens the student's experience; (2) it provides a
recruiting opportunity for the company; and (3) it provides
the department with new research and funding opportunities.
Students who complete the program leave with the necessary
skills to join the industry and business workforce.
Industry, in partnership with the Institute, sponsors a
postdoc for a 2-year appointment during which the postdoc
devotes half of his/her time on an industrial project of the
company. The postdoc benefits by obtaining research
experience and contact with the company. The company
benefits from the research provided by the postdoc, and high
level scientific interaction with the Institute.
