The University of Missouri-St. Louis's MA in Mathematics program provides two specialization paths: applied mathematics for professional careers outside education, and pure mathematics for aspiring educators. Program alumni can advance their current roles as secondary math instructors, become college-level mathematics professors, prepare for doctoral studies, or pursue quantitative careers as applied mathematicians or statisticians. While part-time enrollment is available, applicants must hold an undergraduate degree in mathematics or a closely related quantitative field.
Mathematics cultivates advanced cognitive abilities and diverse problem-solving techniques. This perhaps explains why renowned mathematician William Paul Thurston observed that mathematics transcends numerical calculations - it's fundamentally about comprehension. UMSL's Master of Arts in Mathematics fosters this deeper understanding for students from all backgrounds who share a passion for mathematical exploration.
UMSL's Department of Mathematics and Statistics leads groundbreaking research across multiple disciplines including data analytics, computational mathematics, topological studies, and statistical probability.
Several department faculty have earned global acclaim for their scholarly achievements.
Students benefit from complimentary one-on-one support at the Math Academic Center.
The Math Technology Learning Center offers dedicated study facilities where mathematics students can complete digital assignments, utilize educational resources, and receive guidance from instructors or teaching assistants.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants must meet the general graduate admission requirements of the Graduate School, described in the UMSL catalog. Students are considered for admission to the graduate program in Mathematics only after they have formally applied for admission through the Graduate School.
Applicants must have at least a bachelor's degree in mathematics or in a field with significant mathematical content. Examples of such fields include computer science, economics, engineering and physics. An applicant's record should demonstrate superior achievement in undergraduate mathematics.
Individuals may apply for direct admission to either the M.A. or Ph.D. program. Candidates for the M.A. degree may choose an emphasis in mathematics or data science. Students in the M.A. program who want to transfer to the Ph.D. program upon successful completion of 15 credit hours must fill out a new application through Graduate Admissions.
Two letters of recommendation
a. Letters of recommendations from persons qualified to evaluate the student's recent work are required. A third letter is
required to apply for an assistantship.
Official transcripts from all universities attended
a. Applicants must have completed a baccalaureate degree in mathematics or a field with significant mathematical content
before beginning the master's program.
Entrance examinations
a. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test is required only to apply for an assistantship
b. International students are required to document English proficiency by providing scores from an internationally
accepted standardized examination before a decision is made on admission.
Grade Point Average
a. Minimum of 3.0 on 4.0 scale.
b. Students whose overall GPA is 2.75 to 2.99 may be admitted under some circumstances. An applicant's record should
demonstrate superior achievement in undergraduate mathematics.
IELTS - 6.5 , TOEFL -79
