The Master of Science (M.S.) programs in mathematics deliver graduate-level instruction in algebra, analysis, applied mathematics, and statistics. Graduates of these programs qualify for roles in industry, government, business, college teaching, or further mathematical studies.
The mathematics M.S. degree can be pursued either as a general program or with one of six specialized tracks. Four tracks focus on statistics, one on discrete mathematics, and another on scientific computing. The statistics tracks cater to aspiring professional statisticians in industrial, corporate, or governmental settings. These programs offer advanced statistical training for both current professionals and those entering statistical fields, blending diverse statistical methods, mathematical theory, and computational skills. The discrete mathematics and scientific computing tracks allow students to integrate mathematical studies with computer science applications, with potential interdisciplinary applications beyond the department.
Students should thoughtfully evaluate their post-graduation career goals, as early goal-setting may influence their choice of degree tracks. Graduate advisors are available to help students navigate program options and select concentrations aligned with their professional aspirations.
