计算和应用数学专业硕士（MCAAM）是一项高级专业学位课程，旨在为对工业或商业技术职业感兴趣的学生设计。MCAAM计划为学生提供了对计算和应用数学工具的基本理解，这对于解决科学，工程和商业中的复杂问题至关重要。MCAAM学位不需要论文。全日制学习需要花费一年半到两年的时间来完成MCAAM学位。MCAAM毕业生中有100％在毕业之前就获得了就业机会。通过对本科专业和高年级课程进行适当的计划和协调，莱斯大学的本科生可以选择仅学习五年即可完成MCAAM学位。候选人还可以在工业界工作时兼职攻读MCAAM学位。
The Professional Master's of Computational and Applied Mathematics (M.C.A.A.M.) is an advanced, professional degree program designed for students interested in a technical career in industry or business. The M.C.A.A.M. program provides students with a fundamental understanding of computational and applied mathematics tools that are essential to tackle complex problems in science, engineering and business. The M.C.A.A.M. degree does not require a thesis. It takes one and a half to two years to complete an M.C.A.A.M. degree when studying full time. One hundred percent of M.C.A.A.M. graduates received employment offers before they graduate. With proper planning and coordination of undergraduate major(s) and senior year courses, Rice undergraduates have the option to complete the M.C.A.A.M. degree with just a fifth year of study. Candidates can also pursue the M.C.A.A.M. degree part-time while working in industry.
