The Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to the degree of Master of Science (MS) in Mathematics.

Under Mathematics, students may choose between two tracks: a track in Pure Mathematics and a track in Applied Mathematics.

MS in Mathematics

Students who are admitted to one of the two MATH tracks, Pure or Applied, must complete the university requirements for graduate study in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences with at least 24 credits at the graduate level and a thesis. These 24 credits must include the following required core courses for both tracks: MATH 303, MATH 304, MATH 309, and MATH 341.​

Students following the Pure Mathematics Track are required to take at least one of MATH 306 or MATH 314 and complete the 24 credits by choosing any 3 elective courses offered in the department, totaling 9 credits, in addition to writing and defending a thesis in an area of Pure Mathematics.

Students following the Applied Mathematics Track are required to take at least one of MATH 350 or MATH/STAT 338 and complete the 24 credits by choosing any 3 elective courses offered in the department, totaling 9 credits, in addition to writing and defending a thesis in an area of Applied Mathematics.​

MA or MS in Statistics

Students must complete the university requirements for graduate study in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, at least 24 credits at the graduate level and a thesis. At least 18 of the 24 credits must be taken in the department and must include MATH 303, STAT 331, STAT 332, STAT 333 and STAT 334. Students interested in taking courses outside the department may do so after obtaining approval from the department. The graduate program in statistics is currently frozen.​
