Master of Science in Pure And Applied Mathematics

As our world becomes increasingly quantitative and data-oriented, there is growing demand for STEM experts. As part of the STEM workforce, mathematicians contribute to society by expanding the theoretical foundations of knowledge, aiding scientists in experimental design and data interpretation, guiding industries to make sound, data-based decisions, and educating future generations. MTSU’s Master of Science in Mathematics engages students in learning, teaching, and creating advanced mathematics through quality instruction, research, internship, and close faculty-student interactions. The Pure and Applied Mathematics concentration is a comprehensive and flexible program which provides students with both a broad understanding of advanced mathematics and specialized knowledge in a chosen field. As such, this concentration can be tailored to prepare students for either industry/government employment or doctoral studies. The Mathematics Education concentration provides students with advanced subject knowledge and knowledge of the latest research on teaching and learning mathematics. This program prepares students to excel in the classroom, teach dual enrollment and community college courses, and/or continue toward a doctoral degree in mathematics education. Finally, the Actuarial and Financial Mathematics concentration equips students with advanced knowledge of actuarial and financial math. In addition, the program coursework deliberately prepares students to pass actuarial exams. Graduates of this program are prepared to pursue careers in industry or begin doctoral studies in actuarial and financial math. All three concentrations provide students with opportunities to gain hands-on experience through research. Students in the Actuarial and Financial Mathematics concentration also have the opportunity to complete an internship.
