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 either as a general degree or with one of six specializations. Four focus on statistics, while one emphasizes discrete mathematics and another centers on scientific computing. The statistics tracks prepare students for professional statistician roles across various sectors, offering comprehensive training in applied statistical methods. These programs blend statistical techniques, mathematical theory, and computational skills. The discrete mathematics and scientific computing specializations allow students to integrate mathematical studies with computer science, with potential applications beyond the mathematics department.
Students should thoughtfully evaluate their post-graduation goals, as early career planning can guide their choice of degree path or specialization. Graduate advisors are available to help students explore program options aligned with their professional aspirations.
