Master
of Arts for Teachers The Master of Arts (M.A.) and the Master of Science (M.S.) degree programs in mathematics provide education at the graduate level in algebra, analysis, applied mathematics and statistics. Students completing these degrees are prepared for positions in industry, government, business, and college teaching, and for advanced study in mathematics.
The M.S. degree in mathematics is offered with no concentration, or with one of four possible concentrations. Three of the concentrations are in statistics, and one is in scientific computing.
The concentrations in statistics are programs designed for persons who wish to prepare for careers as professional statisticians in industry, business, or government. These programs provide advanced training in applied statistics for those who are presently working in areas that use statistics, as well as for those who plan to enter these areas. The programs present an optimal balance among the broad range of statistical techniques, mathematical methods, and computation.
The concentration in scientific computing is designed for persons who wish to combine their study of mathematics with selected areas of computer science. Opportunities exist to apply this kind of study to related areas outside the department.
The Master of Arts for Teachers (M.A.T.) degree program provides advanced training for secondary school teachers of mathematics. This program combines advanced work in both mathematics and education to deepen, strengthen, and broaden the student's understanding of mathematics and the teaching of mathematics.
Majors are encouraged to consider carefully the career objectives they wish to pursue after graduation. Early selection of these objectives may suggest the degree programs or concentrations that will prepare students for their chosen careers. Faculty who serve as advisors for graduate majors will discuss with majors the degree programs and concentrations available to them.
Please note:
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics accepts applications for all three semesters. However, in order to be considered for graduate assistantships for fall semester, applicants must complete the application process in the Office of Graduate Studies in sufficient time for the department to receive it by March 1. This process often takes several weeks. International applications should allow at least two additional months for processing of applications for admission.
