The Master of Science in Mathematics is a 30-credit master's degree. Graduate students can choose to complete a thesis option. Most courses are offered regularly in the late afternoon and early evening so that all programs can be completed on a part-time basis.
Curriculum
Choose the General Option or specialize with one of the following options:
- Applied and Computational Mathematics Option — Learn techniques of mathematical modeling and the basic tools needed to investigate problems from both a theoretical and computational viewpoint. Courses range from classical applied to modern applications of mathematical software.
- Probability and Statistics Option — Gain the necessary mathematical skills to solve many of the data analysis problems in, industry, science, engineering, and management. Courses range from theory in probability to applied hands-on courses in statistical programming, including R and SAS statistical software.
- Mathematics for Teachers Option — Build a balanced combination of theory and practice, to enhance appreciation and understanding of Mathematics as a science, as well as the tools necessary to instill in your own students an interest in the subject. Note that this is not a teaching certification program.
