The Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides graduate programs including an M.S. in Applied Mathematics (available with or without a thesis), a Master of Science for Teachers degree, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics. The M.S. in Applied Mathematics allows students to focus on either mathematics or statistics, while the Ph.D. offers specializations in mathematics, computational and applied mathematics, or statistics. While earning an M.S. is encouraged before pursuing a Ph.D., it is not mandatory. Students opting to enter the doctoral program directly must complete at least 32 graduate credit hours within their first two years, concentrating on foundational coursework aligned with their chosen specialization. For example:
(a) Mathematics emphasis requires exposure to modern algebra, analysis, statistics, and topology.
(b) Computational and applied mathematics requires real analysis, differential equations, partial differential equations, statistics, plus either complex analysis or modern algebra.
(c) Statistics emphasis covers linear algebra, probability, and statistical inference.
The Master of Science for Teachers program caters to secondary educators in mathematics and physical sciences. It mandates 30 credit hours of 4000-level or higher coursework in science and math, including at least three 6000-level credits. Students may replace up to six 4000-level credits with 3000-level courses from non-math/statistics departments, pending approval from their advisory committee.
