Mathematics, Pure and Applied Mathematics Concentration (MS) – STEM Designated Degree Program
Please note that admission to this program is no longer available and has been replaced by our Applied Mathematics (MS) program.
The Master of Science degree in mathematics provides students with the advanced materials needed for positions of leadership in business, industry and government as well as for teaching at the high school and community college level. The MS degrees in mathematics are offered with concentrations in mathematics education or pure and applied mathematics. Concentrations consist primarily of taking four to six courses in the area of the concentration.
All the concentrations prepare students to pursue doctoral degrees. Our curriculum in mathematics extensively integrates modern methods of computing. The special interests of the faculty include algebra, analysis, applied statistics, chaos theory, combinatorics, data mining, detection of gravitational waves, dynamical systems, fluid dynamics, game theory, graph theory, mathematical modeling, mathematics education, methods and techniques of teaching mathematics, modeling in the biological, chemical and physical sciences, obesity modeling, operations research, problem solving, representation theory, statistical computing and graphics, and the use of technology in education.
Along with the Mathematics, Pure and Applied Mathematics Concentration (MS) degree, the mathematics department also offers the following options for graduate study: Mathematics with a concentration in Mathematics Education, a combined BS/MS Mathematics with a concentration in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Mathematics (Combined BS/MAT), and a PhD in Mathematics Education.
