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, academic instruction, or further mathematical studies.
The M.S. in mathematics can be pursued either as a general degree or with one of six specialized tracks. Four focus on statistics, one on discrete mathematics, and another on scientific computing. The statistics tracks prepare students for professional statistical careers across various sectors, offering comprehensive training in applied methods for both current practitioners and aspiring professionals. These programs strike an ideal balance between statistical methodologies, mathematical theory, and computational skills. The discrete mathematics and scientific computing tracks allow students to integrate mathematical studies with specialized computer science applications, with potential interdisciplinary applications beyond mathematics.
Students should thoughtfully evaluate their post-graduation goals, as early career planning can guide their choice of degree tracks. Graduate advisors are available to help students explore program options aligned with their professional aspirations.
