数学文学硕士课程是为希望进入数学专业职业并且具有与数学专业本科背景相对应的学生而设计的。硕士学位通常在大约两年内获得，尽管有可能在更少的时间内获得。硕士课程的学生至少修读8门研究生数学课程，每门课程的总人数达到500以上，其中至少包括一门代数，分析和几何拓扑。其他课程可以是纯数学或应用数学，有些可以在其他系进行。还需要通过研究生预备考试，并提交和捍卫硕士学位论文。
The Masters of Arts program in mathematics is intended for students who wish to go into professional careers in mathematics, and who have a background corresponding to an undergraduate mathematics major. The masters degree is typically earned in approximately two years, though it is possible to earn it in less time. Students in the masters program take at least eight graduate mathematical courses numbered 500 and above, including at least one each in algebra, analysis, and geometry-topology. The other courses can be in either pure or applied mathematics, and some can be taken in other departments. There is also a requirement to pass the Graduate Preliminary Exam and to submit and defend a masters thesis.
