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 teaching, 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 statistical careers across various sectors, offering comprehensive training in applied methods for both current practitioners and aspiring statisticians. These programs strike an ideal balance between statistical techniques, mathematical theory, and computational skills. The discrete mathematics and scientific computing specializations allow students to blend mathematical studies with focused areas in computer science, with potential applications extending 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 and select concentrations aligned with their professional aspirations.
