• The Master of Science and Master of Arts degrees are designed to provide students with the opportunity to study graduate level mathematics so that they may
    • obtain preferred employment in mathematics with government or industry,
    • teach at the junior college level or be better prepared to teach at the secondary school level, or
    • continue working toward a doctor of philosophy degree.
  • The Master of Science program consists of a core of applied mathematics together with a core (at most nine hours) in an allied field such as business, computer science, physics, economics or finance. (See an example of allied courses for economics and finance here.)
  • The program is flexible and is particularly suited to meet the needs of students preparing for careers in business, industry, or government.
