The Master of Science degree in pure mathematics is an opportunity to advance and solidify an understanding of the mathematical sciences. Such study can be a point of entry for a career in industry or can lead to doctoral study. Many alumni of the program are currently employed as teachers at local community colleges, while some go on to careers in industry. Many also continue to Ph.D. programs.

The central areas of study are analysis, algebra and topology. Our program allows a student to choose various electives, leading to an of statistics, mathematics education and applied mathematics.
