Our Mission

The Department of Mathematics offers three distinct graduate programs in mathematics. The Master of Science program blends theoretical material necessary for further graduate work in mathematics with basic applications for the student who wishes to enter industry or government work in mathematics.  There are two graduate programs in mathematics designed for teachers that lead to a Master of Arts Degree, one for high school teachers and the other for middle school teachers.  These programs reflect the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the recommendations of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).  The courses combine mathematical topics related to the curriculum with enrichment material which is directly applicable to the classroom.

Under the department’s five-year B.S./M.S. in Mathematics program, students may earn both degrees in five years if they have sufficient AP credit (eight AP Math credits plus six other AP credits) and meet all other requirements of both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
