Graduate Programs - An Overview
Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Degree Programs
are designed to prepare students for careers in teaching, industry,
and government, as well as to provide a solid foundation for further
academic work or professional training.
All graduate degrees in this
department require the completion of 45 quarter hours of graduate level
courses chosen to fulfill the requirements of one of the degree programs.
Full time students normally require two years to complete their programs.
For the convenience of part time students, almost all MTH and STT graduate
courses that a student would include in their program of study are available
in classes offered at 4 pm or later.

Graduate Assistantships and
Fellowships
The department awards a limited number of graduate
assistantships on a competitive basis. Applications for assistantships
for fall quarter should be submitted by February 15 of the preceding
academic year. Late applications will be considered if assistantships
are still available. There are also a limited number of Graduate Tuition
only Fellowships available to new students taking at least 12 hours
of courses per quarter in their programs of study.

Applied Statistics
- 453
The
Applied Statistics Program provides a thorough grounding in the
theory and methodology needed for the design of experiments and the
collection and analysis of data. Elective courses lend flexibility to
the program and introduce students to advanced topics in statistical
theory and technique. All students gain experience in the Statistical
Consulting Center.

Applied Mathematics
The
Applied Mathematics Concentration provides students with a thorough
introduction to applications oriented mathematics. The students develop
their ability to analyze and solve a variety of problems and may increase
their understanding of specific problems encountered in other fields
such as science, engineering, or computer science.

For Teachers and Prospective Teachers
of Mathematics
The Master
of Science in Teaching (MST) in Science and Mathematics Education
is a professional development program for Science and Mathematics teachers
and faculty. The Interdisciplinary MST program is taught by faculty
in various departments in the College of Science and Mathematics with
joint appointments in the College of Education. It is an ideal masters
degree for those who presently teach in middle school, high school or
junior college. Of 48 total credit hours, 36 are taught in the College
of Science and Mathematics.

The Master of Education is offered in the College
of Education and Human Services for classroom teachers of mathematics.
It enables teachers to take substantial advanced graduate course work
in mathematics in order to update skills and strengthen knowledge in
their major teaching field. Of 48 total credit hours, 24 are taught
in the College of Science and Mathematics. This is not an initial licensure
program to become a mathematics teacher.
