Applied Math undergrad to pure math grad school?

AI Thread Summary
Georgia Tech is recognized as the top in-state college for mathematics in Georgia, though it does not offer a pure mathematics degree. Students can still pursue graduate studies in pure mathematics with an applied mathematics major, as the coursework available at Georgia Tech includes numerous pure mathematics classes. By taking additional applied courses, students can effectively complete a curriculum that prepares them for graduate-level pure mathematics. The reputation of Georgia Tech and the relevant coursework alleviate concerns about the impact of an applied math degree on future academic opportunities in pure mathematics.

The best instate college in my state for mathematics is Georgia Tech. However, it does not have a pure mathematics degree. Can I still go to grad school for pure mathematics as an applied math major? Will it prepare me for pure mathematics?

The name of the degree doesn't really matter, just the courses, and Georgia Tech has plenty of courses in pure mathematics. You can essentially complete a pure math degree there, you just have to take a few extra applied courses on the side.
 
GaTech is the best college in GA for mathematics,and having an undergrad in applied won't stop you from going to grad school for pure.
 
Thanks guys! It relieved me of some anxiety.
