Mathematics (MS)
Description
The M.S. in mathematics is designed primarily for students who are attracted to mathematics as a major scholarly pursuit, including students who plan eventually to work toward the doctorate in this field. The M.S. degree also prepares students who are looking for professional careers in mathematics, either as teachers or as research mathematicians.
Minimum Total Credit Hours: 30
Course Requirements
A candidate for the M.S. degree must complete 30 graduate hours, including at least two of the following three sequences:
