Master of Science (MS) in

Mathematics and Statistics

Goal of Program:

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers programs of study leading to the Master of Science degree in mathematics.The Master of Science program is flexible enough to provide several plans of study depending on the choice of recommended sequence of courses.

Program Audience:

• Students interested in applied mathematics may take courses to prepare themselves for careers in business, industry, or government as well as for further study in mathematics.The growing program is very flexible that allows the students to design their own programs concentrating in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, operations research, or statistics.
• A more traditional pure mathematics plan of study provides a strong background in basic areas of mathematics. Thus it is often the choice of those interested in secondary or community college teaching and for those who intend to pursue the Ph.D. degree in mathematics at another institution.

Program Highlights:

• Degree has a thesis and non-thesis option.
• Detailed advising guidelines supplied by the department recommend courses for students preparing for further graduate work; for careers in teaching community college of secondary school; and for careers in industry, business and government.
