The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers a program of graduate study leading to a Master of Science degree in the field of Mathematics. The program is designed to increase competence in the core mathematical fields of linear algebra, topology, and analysis. The student will complete a project or thesis pertaining to an area of interest to the student under the direction of an advisor. If a student elects for the thesis option, submission of a written manuscript and an oral defense of their thesis work is required. If a student elects for the project option, submission of a written manuscript is required. If a student elects for the actuarial project option, they must pass two internal or external professional actuarial exams not already passed. The program is designed to prepare the student for creative professional work in mathematics, to teach mathematics at the post-secondary level, or for further study at the doctoral level.
