Program(s) Offered:
We offer the Mathematics M.A. with two concentrations. The Liberal Arts Concentration is a traditional, on-campus program intended for students who are planning to continue into our Ph.D. program in Educational Mathematics. The Teaching Concentration is designed for current in-service secondary mathematics teachers, and combines online classes during the academic year with a mixture of online and face-to-face classes during the summer.
Mathematics and related areas have been important human endeavors since ancient times. Mathematics is a discipline with its own questions, methods and content. It has also been used as a tool to explain the natural world for centuries. Mathematics, statistics and computer science have become essential to almost every other discipline such as the natural sciences, the social sciences, business, and economics.
The School of Mathematical Sciences has faculty in mathematics, mathematics education, statistics and computer science. We offer a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs in these areas. In addition, courses and minors that we offer can be used as important components of a variety of other programs across the university.
