APPLIED MATHEMATICS

[1] Objectives

The Master of Science in program in applied mathematics is focused on training students in the process of mathematical modeling, so that the graduates can better serve both business and government agencies. By applying mathematical modeling to business, engineering, planning and other areas, significant problems can be studied using analytic and numerical methods.

[2] Program Admission Requirements

To be admitted to the MS degree program in applied mathematics one must have

A baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution;
Adequate preparation in mathematics;
At least a 2.70 GPA; and
Achieve satisfactory scores on the General Test of the Graduate Record Exam.

[3] Degree Requirements

The thesis option requires six hours of research and the non-thesis option requires the successful completion of an oral examination. Both options must include minimum of 18 hours at 6000-level and the Core Courses: Math 6342, Math 6345, and Math 6348. The remaining hours may include other courses at the 5000-level with the approval of student’s advisory committee.

[4] Financial Aid

Graduate Teaching Assistantships are available for fall/spring. Responsibilities each semester include teaching at least three semester hours, enrolling in six to nine graduate credit hours, and working in the mathematics tutorial lab.
