The Mathematics Master of Science program at Montana State University equips students for advanced graduate studies or careers in academic, corporate, industrial, or government sectors. Upon admission, students consult with the Graduate Program Committee to align coursework with their professional goals. By the second semester, students establish a Graduate Committee to design their degree path.
