We offer two Master of Science degrees in the mathematical sciences. Completion of each of these programs requires 30–34 credits hours and can be accomplished in 1.5 -2 years. There are about 50 graduate students from a variety of international backgrounds currently enrolled in the programs.
Some of our graduate students pursued careers in industry - others enrolled successfully into doctoral programs, or teach at the college level. These are a few of the career directions for mathematics graduates.
Combining a strong mathematics background with biology, nutrition, physics, chemistry, computer science or economics can enhance the chances of getting a job.
