The Master of Science in Mathematics degree program balances applied and theoretical coursework " along with numerous elective courses in specialized subjects and subfields " so that students can study the subdiscipline of their choice and tailor their educational experience to match their career aspirations.
Developed by top-tier faculty at the University of Texas at Dallas, the program allows students to choose one of four specialized tracks and prepares them for doctoral study or careers that require advanced mathematical training:
- Mathematics Track: Students who choose this track take courses in the pillars of mathematics and develop sophisticated mathematical skills.
- Applied Mathematics Track: Students in this track study both foundational mathematics and its modern applications.
- Mathematics for Decision and Engineering Sciences Track: Students who choose this track take courses in foundational mathematics and its applications in finance, decision sciences, and engineering.
- Data Science Track: Students who choose this interdisciplinary track take a balanced mix of courses in Statistics, Computer Science and Mathematics, equipping them with the knowledge and experiences they'll need to pursue careers related to Big Data.
