On-Campus Delivery
The on-campus modality will prepare you to become a successful, professional mathematician working in business, industry, or education.
You will take a spectrum of mathematics classes, complemented by courses targeted to your chosen track. These courses provide a breadth of training and depth of knowledge in an area of specialization. You will also have various opportunities for internship and teaching experiences.
Five tracks are available:
- Traditional (generally, preparation to continue with a Ph.D.)
- Math teaching
- Computational math
- Industrial math
- Math biology
-
Distance Education
The Online Master of Science in Mathematics offers a comprehensive curriculum covering history of mathematics, geometry, mathematical modeling, and modern information technology skills. Applicants may choose from one of the following fully online specialization tracks:
- Mathematics Teaching – Designed primarily for those preparing to teach mathematics at the secondary school and junior college levels, this track combines a strong math foundation with pedagogical training and relevant coursework to develop skilled educators.
- Computational Mathematics – Centered on numerical methods, algorithms, and applications in computing and technology.
- Mathematics and Statistics – Emphasizing statistical methods and mathematical analysis for applied and research-based careers.
This 36-semester-hour graduate program is designed mainly for individuals with a solid background in mathematics or a related field, though applicants from other disciplines are welcome. Texas A&M also offers a G6 classification for postgraduate non-degree seekers, allowing students to participate in the program’s benefits with the option to transfer into a degree-seeking status later if they choose.
