Use mathematics to solve real-world problems

The tools and methods of Applied Mathematics are in demand wherever quantitative analysis is used for strategic decision-making. The MS in Applied Mathematics gives you the expertise you need to use those tools and methods in business, industry or government. It also provides a solid foundation for those interested in pursuing a PhD.

The MS in Applied Mathematics program has four areas of concentration:

  • Actuarial science
  • Applied and computational mathematics
  • Mathematical finance
  • Statistics

Courses are held weekday evenings on the Lincoln Park Campus. The program can be completed in two years by taking two courses per quarter.

For international students: this is a STEM-designated program, which can qualify you to extend your post-graduation stay in the United States.
