Program Description
The Department of Mathematics offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. The master's degree program offers specializations in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and mathematics for secondary educators. The Master of Science degree programs are designed either for students who intend to go on to pursue a Ph.D. in Mathematics, or for those planning to seek employment in education, government or industry. Between 30 and 33 hours of study (10-11 courses) are required, depending on the program. In any of the four degree options, the student completes either a thesis or project or comprehensive written exams.
