A degree in Mathematics will not only strengthen critical and analytical problem-solving skills but it will also be an essential tool in many other scientific disciplines and careers. Students in our program continue their careers with the National Science Foundation, the National Security Agency, NASA, and the National Institute of Health, just to name a few.
The Master of Science in Mathematics degree has two tracks: Theory track and Industry track. The theory track is tailored to those looking to pursue their Ph.D. in Mathematics. The industry track is tailored for those looking to pursue careers in engineering, computer science, medicine, and business.
For students electing the thesis option, which accounts for 6 credits, the coursework requirements are reduced to 24 credits. The comprehensive exam for the MS degree consists of a presentation on selected topics followed by questions from faculty. For students who complete a thesis, the thesis defense serves as the comprehensive exam.
