Master of Science - Mathematics - Statistics (Non-Thesis)

The M.S. in mathematics consists of up to 36 hours 
of courses with the option of pursuing a minor and/or thesis. The course options and concentrations give students the flexibility to choose courses from a variety of topics including real analysis, topology, abstract algebra, differential equations, complex analysis, discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, mathematical statistics, regression and biostatistics. Graduates develop a well-balanced foundation in mathematics content and the ability to use mathematics in their chosen area. An active research environment supports each student’s interests with a variety of weekly seminars, including colloquia by national leaders in 
the field.

The M.Ed. in mathematics consists of 27 hours of mathematics courses plus a minor. There is a nine-hour mathematics core; elective courses spanning a variety of topics including statistics, discrete math, knots and surfaces, and a survey of geometries; and a culminating comprehensive exam. Graduates develop a well-balanced foundation in mathematics content and the ability to use mathematics in the classroom. An active research environment supports each student's interests with a variety of weekly seminars, including colloquia by national leaders in mathematics, applied mathematics and mathematics education. This program is appropriate for students with the equivalent of an undergraduate mathematics minor.
