The world is an abstract puzzle
Energized by complex puzzles?
Work persistently through challenges?
Break down massive issues into smaller, manageable components?
A master’s degree in mathematical sciences takes these abilities and shapes them into high-level analytical, quantitative and logical problem-solving skills.
Mathematical principles are universal and your expertise will be highly desired. Enjoy the freedom to transition between different sectors throughout your career.
What drives you?
If you're driven by data and technology: choose the degree path that focuses on statistics. If you are drawn to theory and research a focus on analysis and algebra through the mathematics concentration courses might be a better fit. Both options offer thesis and non-thesis paths.
