Mathematics (M.S.)
We know that pursuing a master’s in math means that you want to speak the language of the universe. It’s a part of everything we do, and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of its intricacy and beauty as a student in our math master’s program.
With a master’s in mathematics from Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Lafayette, you can advance your knowledge of applied mathematics, pure mathematics, and statistics, plus be introduced to independent study and research.
Once you've completed your master's in math, you'll be prepared to pursue your PhD, teach math at the secondary or college levels, and to work in different industries or as a researcher.
Customize the program to your goals and interests by choosing a concentration in applied mathematics, pure mathematics, or statistics, and completing either a thesis- or non-thesis-track option.
Most of our students complete the master’s in mathematics program in two years with a full course load each semester.
