York University's graduate program in Mathematics & Statistics offers two master's routes: a one-year Master of Arts (MA) and a two-year Master of Science in Applied & Industrial Mathematics (MSc). The MA combines core courses in an area of specialization, pure mathematics, applied mathematics, probability, statistics, or data science, with electives and either a survey paper or additional coursework. The MSc emphasizes industrial and applied mathematics, giving students a practicum in which they formulate and analyze real-world mathematical problems before completing a thesis. Both routes admit students in the Fall term, with an application deadline of January 15. Admission requires a minimum B average, two letters of recommendation for the MA, a statement of interest, and a current CV or resume. Both programs are offered on a full-time or part-time basis and prepare graduates for further doctoral study or applied roles in industry, government, and research.
