Mathematics Masters Degree
Program Description
The demand for people trained in mathematics and statistics will continue to grow because of the central role of both fields in science, engineering, health and business.
The Master of Science in Mathematics is designed to provide a variety of graduate-level mathematical options for students interested in a deeper understanding of theoretical and applied mathematics. Students graduating with this degree often pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics, teach secondary school mathematics or seek employment as an actuary or analyst.
Faculty Research
Faculty members are active in many areas of research in pure and applied mathematics. Some department members are the authors of widely used textbooks in mathematics and statistics, both graduate and undergraduate. Faculty research areas include:
- Algebraic geometry
- Algebraic topology
- Applied mathematics
- Commutative algebra
- Coding theory
- Mathematics biology
- Mathematics education
- Probability theory
- Statistics
Students graduating with this degree often pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics, teach secondary school mathematics, or seek employment as an actuary or analyst.
Admission Requirements
In addition to meeting College of Graduate Studies requirements for admission, applicants are expected to have a baccalaureate degree in mathematics, engineering, or another scientific or technical area. Applicants should have completed a sequence in calculus and analytic geometry, as well as courses in linear algebra and differential equations and at least eight credits in junior- or senior-level mathematics courses. An applicant without this preparation may be admitted on a probationary basis, subject to removing deficiencies during the first year of graduate study.
Degree Requirements
In addition to meeting Graduate College requirements for the master’s degree, MS degree candidates must earn 36 credit hours. Students are required to take an introductory course (4 credits), approved electives (28 credits), and an exit requirement course project (4 credits). The approved electives can be viewed in the catalog.
