Mathematics (M.A.)
About
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a program leading to the degree of Master of Arts in Mathematics. The typical student chooses to focus their advanced study in one of three broad areas: applied mathematics, pure mathematics, or statistics.
At the time of admission, students will be assigned a preliminary advisor to assist them in developing a course of study consistent with their specific goals, until they can formally establish their own advisory committee before the end of the first year
Program Highlights
Requirements
Students must complete a program of study, consisting of at least 30 credit hours which must be approved by their advisory committee. All graduate students must successfully give at least two seminars. It is suggested that one seminar be given in each of the fall and spring semesters of the second year.
At least 15 of these credits must be 500/600-level MAT/STS courses (exclusive of thesis and seminar credits). Additionally, there are two subject requirements and a depth requirement:
Choice of Option
Thesis Option: Students choosing to write a thesis under the supervision of a member of the Graduate Faculty need to take a total of 5 credits of MAT 699 (Graduate Thesis), in addition to a 1-credit course on responsible conduct of research (such as INT 601). Upon completion of the thesis, the student must present an oral defense.
Non-thesis Option: At least 24 credit hours must be at the graduate level, and at least 18 of these must be MAT/STS courses. Two written qualifying examinations must be passed prior to graduation, chosen from analysis, algebra, and statistics.
