MA/MS in Mathematics

Morgan State's mathematics master's degree is designed for graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics who want advanced preparation for industry, government, teaching or doctoral study. The curriculum balances theory with applied work such as mathematical modeling and computation. Students take required core courses in areas including algebra, analysis, topology, probability and numerical analysis, then add electives. They may complete a thesis involving original research or follow a non-thesis route that ends in a research project. Classes are held on campus, with evening sections available for working professionals. Full-time students can finish in about two years. A program director oversees the degree, and the department's graduate coordinator advises students. Graduates have continued to doctoral programs in the mathematical sciences, taught in schools and colleges, or taken data analyst posts in industry and government.
