Name on Math degree, what is better: Applied or general?

[Mathmaybe]

So I want to go into applied mathematics, I can either get a general math degree or an "applied and computational" degree. Does the degree title make a difference?

The general math degree I can graduate a term sooner with, the main differences in the courses is that for the applied and computational degree I take a numerical analysis sequence and don't get credit for some of the theoretical courses I took .

Do the general one, you can always do research in applied math with a pure math degree.

Course wise I am still going to be exiting with two terms of abstract algebra, 2 terms of advanced calculus and a years worth of real analysis so in terms of theory I won't be short on it. It's more an issue of degree title, which has more value?

 

[Hercuflea]

Depends. If you want to do grad school in Math probably the Math degree. If you want to get a job probably applied math. Either way, as long as you have the coursework and good GREs you'll probably be fine for grad school.

Is that a two year course? Can you take the numerical sequence after its conclusion? That would be my preference.
