MA/MS in Applied Mathematics

This master's degree is meant for students who want to use mathematics in other areas such as biology, chemistry, computing, economics, engineering, medicine, physics, psychology or social science. It is deliberately flexible and does not prescribe a fixed body of knowledge. Students choose two areas of concentration: a major in pure and applied mathematics emphasizing applicable subjects, and a minor in applied mathematics or an outside field. Mathematical methods receive the main emphasis throughout. The program is delivered by Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Prospective graduate students can use the program page to ask for information, begin an application and reach staff or an advisor who can explain courses and requirements. Applicants should confirm current admission steps, deadlines and funding options with the department and the Graduate School before applying, since procedures can change between terms.
