Master of Science [M.S] [Applied Mathematics] From Wright State University

The objectives of the program are two-fold: to develop the student's ability to analyze and solve a variety of real-world problems and to increase the student's understanding of specific problems encountered in other fields. Students may tailor their programs to emphasize discrete or continuous mathematics, or probability and statistics. Coursework in an area of application, such as computer science, engineering or physics is also encouraged. Students may choose to complete a modeling project as part of their program.

The degree at Wright State University requires 30 semester credits of course work. The program is designed primarily to prepare graduates for careers in business, industry, or government, but can be tailored to provide a solid foundation for doctoral studies in mathematics. The department makes provision for part-time degree candidates by offering all required courses in the late afternoon or evening.
