This degree program offers students a modern, well-rounded education covering key areas like high-performance computing, numerical analysis, optimization, statistical methods, and operations research. The department operates on the principle that mathematics, statistics, computing, and data science serve as vital instruments for addressing real-world challenges. Our curriculum focuses on developing employer-sought abilities including analytical reasoning, data proficiency, quantitative interpretation, and above all, rapid skill acquisition. These competencies prepare graduates for success in both corporate and academic settings. Competitive scholarships and assistantships are offered to qualified graduate students.
Academic departments periodically update program requirements, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may approve individual exceptions or substitutions as needed. Students are strongly encouraged to consult regularly with their advisors to ensure their study plans meet current standards before finalizing them.
