The Master of Science (M.S.) programs in mathematics deliver advanced education in algebra, analysis, applied mathematics, and statistics. Graduates gain qualifications for roles in industry, government, business, academia, or further mathematical studies.
The M.S. in mathematics can be pursued as a general degree or with one of six specializations. Four focus on statistics, one on discrete mathematics, and another on scientific computing. The statistics tracks prepare students for professional statistician careers across various sectors, offering rigorous training in applied statistics for both current practitioners and newcomers. These programs strike an ideal balance between statistical methods, mathematical theory, and computational skills. The discrete mathematics and scientific computing specializations allow students to blend mathematical studies with focused areas in discrete math and computer science, with applications extending beyond the mathematics department.
