The Master of Science in Mathematics at McMaster University is a graduate program in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, part of the Faculty of Science. Students choose between a project stream, typically completed in about twelve months of full-time study, and a thesis stream involving a longer piece of original research, typically completed in about twenty months. Coursework covers advanced topics across pure and applied mathematics, with students working closely with faculty in their area of specialization. Admission normally requires an honours bachelor's degree, or equivalent, in mathematics or a related field. Graduates are prepared for further doctoral study or for careers in research, data analysis, finance, and other fields requiring advanced quantitative and analytical skills. The program admits students for the September term, with a typical application deadline of February 1, and is administered by McMaster's Department of Mathematics and Statistics within the School of Graduate Studies.
