The M.S. program in applied mathematics at Illinois Tech offers tailored pathways depending on your academic background and professional goals. For those aiming for doctoral studies in applied mathematical sciences, it establishes a rigorous groundwork to tackle Ph.D.-level coursework and research demands. Alternatively, if you're targeting industry roles, the program equips you with sophisticated mathematical methods and models valued by employers.
Students can choose among three study tracks: completing a master's thesis, successfully passing two qualifying examinations, or undertaking a practical industry project.
The program features five concentration areas: industrial mathematics, stochastic computation, discrete computation and optimization, computational statistics for data science, and quantitative risk management.
