MA/MS in Mathematics

The Master of Arts in Mathematics at Yeshiva University's Katz college is a thirty-credit program of ten courses taught in Manhattan. Students attend full-time or part-time. The degree gives a grounding across the main branches of advanced mathematics and shows how they relate and where they are traditionally applied. Students practise formalizing difficult real-world problems, pinpointing the central challenge, choosing suitable analytical tools, and presenting large amounts of information clearly and rigorously. Graduates work in areas such as finance, technology, biomedicine and number-driven analysis, and the master's also serves as a base for the university's doctoral study in mathematics. The program is eligible for the STEM designation, which matters for international students seeking Optional Practical Training. Courses are available in a schedule that allows students to work while studying.
