The department offers graduate study leading to the Master of Science in Mathematics, the Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics, the Master of Science in Applied Mathematics, and the Master of Science in the Teaching of Mathematics.This program prepares students for actuarial science careers, it provides background for much of the material on the basic professional actuarial examinations. It is required that the entering student have taken the calculus sequence and at least one course in probability or statistics. Some training in computer programming and exposure to economics or finance are also helpful.The program requires 32 credit hours and can normally be completed in 18 months.
