The Master of Science degree program in Mathematics provides education at the graduate level in algebra, analysis, applied mathematics, bioinformatics, and statistics. Students completing an M.S. degree in mathematics are prepared for positions in industry, government, business, college teaching, and for more advanced study in mathematics or statistics. The M.S. degree in Mathematics is offered with no concentration, or with one of the following concentrations: applied mathematics, discrete mathematics, scientific computing, bioinformatics, and statistics. These concentrations are designed for students who wish to combine their study of mathematics with selected areas in natural and computational sciences.

The Master of Science degree program in Applied Statistics focuses on applications of statistics to the solution of functional problems in business, engineering, medicine, applied sciences, and other fields. It includes instruction in statistical techniques such as inference, probability theory, regression analysis, descriptive statistics, stochastic processes, Monte Carlo method, Bayesian statistics, non-parametric statistics, sampling theory, and statistical computing. The program builds critical thinking and real-world problems solving skills in data analysis and empirical research. Our applied statistics graduates are expected to find jobs as statisticians, biostatisticians, data scientists, and data analysts in healthcare, finance, industry, government, academia, and other fields. The M.S. degree in Applied Statistics is offered with no concentration, or with one of the following concentrations: biostatistics and statistics and allied field.
