Master of Arts in Mathematics - Data Science

Master of Arts in Mathematics, Emphasis in Data ScienceUMSL is the only public university in the St. Louis region that offers a graduate-level data science degree. By choosing the data science emphasis, students learn the mathematics and statistics needed for data analysis, data modeling and machine learning applications. They also learn to design and implement statistical models using either R or Python, and become proficient in applied statistics and data analysis. Upon graduation, they will be able to work with data, understand data, extract conclusions from data, as well as build computer-based statisticalmachine learning models.Mathematics knows no boundaries. Neither should you.Mathematics lays the foundation for complex thinking skills and teaches multiple problem-solving abilities. Which may be why the American mathematician William Paul Thurston said “Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations or algorithms: it is about understanding.” The Master of Arts in Mathematics degree program at the University of Missouri–St. Louis helps students of all backgrounds with a love for mathematics develop that greater understanding.The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UMSL conducts pivotal research in areas such as data science, computational mathematics, topology, probability and statistics.Many faculty members have received international recognition for contributions to their fields.The Math Academic Center provides free individual assistance to all students.The Math Technology Learning Center is a resource dedicated to our math students where they can access study space, do homework online, take advantage of various resource materials or get help from an instructor or student teacher.

Applicants must have at least a bachelor's degree in mathematics or in a field with significant mathematical content.Grade Point Averagea. Minimum of 3.0 on 4.0 scale. Students whose overall GPA is 2.75 to 2.99 may be admitted under some circumstances.
