Master of Science - Applied Mathematics - Statistics

Program Description

The tools and methods of Applied Mathematics are in demand wherever quantitative analysis is used for strategic decision-making. The MS in Applied Mathematics gives students the expertise they need to use those tools and methods in business, industry or government. It also provides a solid foundation for those interested in pursuing a PhD.

For international students: this is a STEM-designated program, which can qualify them to extend their post-graduation stay in the United States.

The Statistics concentration​ is designed to provide students with the necessary quantitative background for employment in business, industry, or government. It also provides a solid foundation for students interested in pursuing a PhD in statistics.

Students will be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge of the mathematical basis and foundations of probability and statistics necessary to develop and implement appropriate mathematical models.
• Solve a computational problem by using appropriate numerical and statistical procedures with a focus on accuracy, error control, and efficiency.
• Implement a variety of mathematical and statistical structures to model and analyze complex problems.
• Identify, formulate, abstract, and solve mathematical problems using tools from a variety of mathematical areas including calculus, linear algebra, algebra, analysis, probability, and statistics.
• Use computational and statistical software platforms to develop and execute various mathematical procedures and numerical algorithms.
• Communicate mathematical ideas professionally, in verbal and visual form, by using appropriate terminology and notation.
