Mathematics (M.S.)

The University’s online master of science (M.S.) in mathematics is designed for student pursing professional careers, including practicing high school teachers and others.

• The master of science (M.S.) in mathematics includes 33 credits that can be completed entirely online in three to five years of part-time study.  Students who wish to pursue the degree full-time can complete the program in two years.
• The program is sufficiently flexible to permit students to develop courses of study tailored to meet their individual needs and interests.  Students select four required courses from a core of eight. Then, students select electives (which could be other classes from the core) approved by their advisor.
• All courses are offered online. Campus visits are not required.
• The online master's degree in mathematics is open to eligible students in the U.S. (including the District of Columbia and all U.S. territories). The program also is open to students in Canada (all provinces). The program is closed to students residing in countries other than the U.S. and Canada except for U.S. military and State Department personnel and their family members with APO/FPO addresses.

Note: The University also offers an online master of arts (M.A.) in mathematics geared toward high school teachers who want to become certified to teach dual credit courses, or for those wishing to teach mathematics at the collegiate level.
