The Mathematics department provides a Master of Science program with three distinct tracks: Pure Mathematics (Track I), Applied Mathematics (Track II), and Statistics (Track III). Each track equips students for advanced graduate studies, professional mathematical roles in industry, business, and government sectors, or teaching positions at community colleges.
Track I focuses on foundational preparation for community college instruction, industry entry-level roles, or pursuing doctoral studies in mathematics. This curriculum centers on rigorous exploration of contemporary mathematical disciplines—algebra, analysis, and topology.
Track II concentrates on Applied Mathematics, preparing graduates for initial positions in industrial, corporate, or governmental settings, or for further specialized study in applied mathematical fields.
Track III is tailored for students targeting entry-level opportunities in industry or government agencies, or continuing education in statistics. The program emphasizes comprehensive training in modern statistical theory, computational methods, and probability, while providing practical exposure to diverse real-world applications.

Qualification Requirements
Have a four-year baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution
The University requires that applicants for the graduate program have an undergraduate degree with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. In addition, the Mathematics Department requires a GPA of 3.0 or higher in all undergraduate work. The Mathematics Department also requires applicants to have grades of B or better in the following upper-division mathematics classes:
Advanced Calculus (equivalent to CSUN Math 450A)
Advanced Linear Algebra (equivalent to CSUN Math 462)
Students who do not meet these requirements may still be considered for admission. If admitted, students who do not have a B or better in Advanced Calculus (MATH 450A) and Advanced Linear Algebra (MATH 462), will be required to pass MATH 450A, or MATH 462, or both, with a grade of B or better during the first year of enrollment in the program.
Applicants with undergraduate degrees in fields outside the Mathematical Sciences may also be considered, provided they have successfully taken a significant number of lower and upper division Mathematics courses.
Applications to the University are submitted at Cal State Apply. This portion of the application requires official transcripts.
