Program Requirements
The program requires a total of 30 credit hours. All students are required to take 5 courses (15 credit hours) as indicated below. Based on their chosen track (traditional/pure or applied mathematics), students must select 5 more courses (15 credit hours) from the lists below. Students can choose to substitute 6 credit hours of elective courses by MA 699 thesis research. Modifications are possible with the approval of your graduate committee and the master program director. For more information, please, contact the master program director Dr. Roman Shterenberg at
The traditional track is for students who are interested in pure mathematics. The applied mathematics track is focused on preparing students for careers in data science and data analytics, actuarial science and other industrial mathematics applications.
