The MS Mathematics program is a theoretical program that will provide a mathematical foundation for students who plan to continue in further graduate studies, those interested in industry, as well as in-service teachers seeking a deeper knowledge of their field. Core courses include Real Variables, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Probability, with elective courses in theoretical mathematics including number theory, topology, and graph theory. Students will choose one of the following options for a culminating experience: capstone project, or MS thesis. Along with the Mathematics (MS) degree, the mathematics department also offers the following options for graduate study: Mathematics with a concentration in Mathematics Education, Mathematics (Combined BS/MAT), and a PhD in Mathematics Education.
