The Department of Mathematics offers one master's degree, the Master of Science in Applied Mathematics (MAS).
Master of Science in Applied Mathematics (MAS)
The MAS program is interdisciplinary in nature. The program has a thirty three minimum credit hour requirement. There are two required courses, and a required three credit hour course in Mathematics Clinic that represents the research component for the master's program. There is a required area of concentration which consists of four courses. A student will then choose an additional four elective courses. Approved elective courses are listed below. Other elective courses can be approved with the agreement of the student's academic and research advisors. It is expected that the research component, Mathematics Clinic, complement the student's area of concentration, thus, strengthening the plan of study. Areas of concentration can include courses outside the Department of Mathematics; such courses are approved to satisfy the area of concentration with the agreement of the student's academic and research advisors.

| 1 | Students, in consultation with the academic advisor, can construct other areas of concentration. These areas of concentration can be carefully constructed to include four-course concentrations in computer science, engineering or business for students with appropriate backgrounds. |
| 2 | At most 6 hours of approved 400-level courses may be part of a student's program. |
| 3 | MTH 558 serves as an approved elective for a master's candidate in only two cases: the candidate has selected the discrete mathematics concentration, or the candidate completes the sequence, MTH 558 – MTH 559. |
