Curriculum Overview

The 30-credit M.A. in Mathematics runs on an apprenticeship model: students choose a research project and develop it over multiple semesters under a faculty or industry mentor, with recent projects spanning systems biology, complex networks, topological insulators, and astrodynamics. A rigorous core in real and complex analysis, topology, and differential equations builds the foundation for that work.

About Your Coursework

Electives in mathematics of finance, stochastic calculus, dynamical systems, and network science let you tailor the degree to your goals, and students focused on quantitative finance can cross-register into Computer Science and Physics courses. The program culminates in a master's thesis, or a qualifying exam in its place. Full-time and part-time options are available.

How You'll Learn

At Katz College, you learn the way real innovators work — identifying problems, then designing, building, testing, and improving solutions across a multi-semester project. In the mathematics program, that means choosing a research project and developing it over multiple semesters under a faculty or industry mentor, on problems ranging from systems biology and complex networks to topological insulators and astrodynamics. You graduate with original, mentored research and the analytical depth to take on complex problems in research, finance, and industry.
