About the Department
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a choice of master’s programs. The MA in Pure Math is a 30-credit degree. The course work largely mirrors the first two years of a doctoral program in Mathematics. Achievement of the degree includes a comprehensive examination. In addition students must show reading competency in a foreign language.
The MA Program in Statistics and Applied Mathematics is intended for students interested in applications to business, science, engineering, industry, biology, and medicine, as well as teaching and research. This is a 30-credit degree. There are three tracks.
Statistics is Track I, Applied Mathematics is Track II, and Bioinformatics is Track III. Achievement of the degree requires a final project as well as working knowledge of two computer languages. The final projects provide the student with the opportunity to investigate a problem whose outcome is not previously known. Our faculty mentor the projects.
The department also has combined BA/MA programs in Mathematics or Statistics and Applied Mathematics. In addition, the department offers, jointly with the School of Education, an MA in Adolescent Mathematics Education Grades 7-12, and a combined BA/MA in Adolescent Mathematics Education. The MA in Mathematics Education is designed for individuals without provisional certification in mathematics. Individuals who already have provisional certification in mathematics should pursue either the MA in pure mathematics or the MA in statistics and applied mathematics or the new Professional Certification Master’s Program.
