Master of Science in Mathematics

The M.Sc. in Mathematics is a 30 CH’s program that is offered both full and part time within the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Students are required to complete 24 credit hours of coursework in addition to 6 credit hours assigned to research and a completion of a M.Sc. thesis. In addition to 2 CH of college requirements, the coursework includes 3 core mathematics courses and Seminar (10 CH), 4 elective courses (12 CH), that allow the student to specialize in any specific topic related to pure or applied mathematics. Student progress is overseen by a research supervisor (and co-supervisors) and a thesis defense committee. The program is a fee-based program open for all students who meet the entry requirements.

Program Objectives

To provide students with a comprehensive advanced knowledge of the main areas of mathematics;
To provide students with the necessary background for further studies in Mathematics, and enhance their research capabilities;
To produce graduates with high level of analytic and numerical skills;
To train students to communicate effectively both orally and in writing;

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

Discuss in depth concepts, techniques, and results related to active research in Mathematics.
Solve mathematical problems using theoretical tools and/or modeling.
Develop mathematical proofs completely and rigorously.
Produce a comprehensive independent work, including a literature review.
Contribute actively to research projects in mathematics, using an adequate methodology.
Communicate effectively mathematical results to a specialized audience.
Demonstrate awareness of ethical issues related to science, research, and work.
