Mathematics M.S.

The student must meet the requirements of the Office of Graduate Education and follow a Plan of Study acceptable to this office and the Department of Mathematical Sciences. The Plan of Study should represent a reasonably broad program in mathematics and must contain:

• at least four graduate- (6000) level courses of 4 credits each, of which at least two must have numbers in the range MATH 6000 to MATH 6390.
• at least four courses coded MATH or MATP of 4 credits each.
• each student must participate in a capstone professional experience, by registering for and completing one of the following alternatives: 1) a Master’s Project in Mathematics, MATH 6980; 2) a Master’s Practicum, MATH 6970, such as a graduate cooperative internship (a department faculty member must approve a student’s plans in advance and must certify its satisfactory completion).

Outcomes of the Graduate Curriculum

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to:

• demonstrate mastery of graduate-level courses in mathematics covering a range of topics, including mathematical analysis, mathematical methods and modeling, computational mathematics, and operations research.
• demonstrate mastery of graduate-level courses in at least one area outside of mathematics.
