Master of Applied Mathematics (Non Thesis)

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers programs leading to the master of science and doctor of philosophy in both pure and applied mathematics and non-thesis master's degrees in both applied mathematics and statistics. In addition, the department regularly offers actuarial science courses that are approved by both the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society; they are designed to provide the background and material covered in the first three actuarial exams.The master of applied mathematics gives students a strong foundation in one of several fundamental areas of applied mathematics. It is a flexible degree with courses being chosen in conjunction with the advisory committee, some of which may be relevant courses offered by other departments. The master of science degree in mathematics develops both content knowledge of the student through coursework, and provides the opportunity to delve deeper into an area of mathematics through the writing of a thesis. The Ph.D. is designed to give students a thorough understanding of a broad body of knowledge related to their field of study, as well as to develop their research capabilities. Ph.D. students are required to pass one oral and three written preliminary examinations. A statistics concentration is available for the Ph.D. degree (see Statistics).
