数学文学硕士的目的是实现两个目标：提供超出本科水平的强有力的数学课程计划，并具有足够的灵活性以适应各种各样的学生兴趣和背景。MA和MS计划之间的主要区别在于所需的学时数和退出要求。硕士课程要求完成30个学时，硕士课程要求完成36个学时。硕士要求完成论文，而硕士课程要求完成应用项目或全面考试。两种课程都没有必修课程，但是强烈鼓励学生在组成自己的学习计划的课程中加重重点，这种重点既可以提供重点，也可以提供对研究生学习的深度。为了帮助实现这一目标，该部门创建了几个专注于特定重点的集中点。在学位课程中包含集中度完
The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Degree Program prepares students for employment in the private or public sector, graduate school, and scientific research. Studying Mathematics naturally develops quantitative thinking and analytic problem solving, skills with universal application. Demand will always be high for individuals with these universal skills to solve society’s diverse and complex problems.<br>Students majoring in Math have two choices: the Concentration option or the No Concentration option. No Concentration students choose their own upper division courseload, while Concentration students take a set of upper division courses chosen by the department to best fit their Concentration. Students can choose to concentrate in Applied Mathematics, Data Science, Mathematics Education, Pre-Actuarial Math, Operations Research, Statistics, Computational Mathematics, and Pure Mathematics. Students can complete one Concentration or several.
