Graduate students conduct original research, gain a mastery of a wide spectrum of applied mathematics, and learn practical applications of skills developed within our program. This program offers a blend of advanced mathematical and statistical knowledge with the experience to apply that knowledge. Students completing the program have a unique perspective from which they can see the whole of mathematics integrated with applied and industrial needs. A broad and rigorous mathematical core combined with customized application electives and an industrial internship prepares students with life-long career skills in teaching, research and industry. Many of our graduates have followed industrial careers working at companies like Aegon, Fifth-Third Bank, Humana, Mercer and WellPoint; others have pursued academic careers as faculty for regional colleges and universities such as Bellarmine University, Centre College, Manchester University, Marion College, University of Louisville Department of Biostatistics, and the University of Tennessee at Martin.
