MA/MS in Mathematics

The Mathematics MS teaches mathematical sophistication and critical thinking through abstract reasoning. It is a highly flexible degree with a variety of pathways, and graduates gain depth in analysis, algebra, topology, numerical methods, applied mathematics and contemporary topics. Many graduates go straight into industry roles in science, technology, engineering and math, while others continue toward doctorates in mathematics, applied mathematics, data science, computer science and related areas. Dual degree options are listed. Some merit-based teaching assistantships exist for students carrying a minimum graduate course load each semester, and research assistantships and other support depend on funding. Students can also work in the Math Tutoring Center. An undergraduate degree in mathematics is recommended, and university-wide graduate admission policies apply, with extra rules for international applicants.
