Master of Science in Mathematics

The Master of Science in Mathematics program provides advanced instruction in theoretical mathematical disciplines, aiming to develop reasoning, analytical, and communication skills. Students study a significant range of mathematical concepts, focusing on both pure and applied mathematics with an emphasis on constructing proofs, developing arguments, and engaging with research literature.

The program requires completing 33 credits through core and major requirements along with electives. It accommodates thesis work and may include remedial undergraduate courses if necessary. Students may pursue teaching careers, employment in analytical roles, or continue to Ph.D. programs.

Applicants must hold a BS in Mathematics with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or equivalent for regular acceptance. Those with a GPA of 2.7-2.99 may be conditionally accepted and must achieve a minimum "B" grade in up to two 3-credit courses during the first semester to remove conditional status. Some remedial undergraduate mathematics courses may be required, with a minimum average passing grade of 2.7/4.0 ("B-") across them. Up to 9 transfer graduate credits may be accepted at the Faculty Graduate Committee's discretion.
