Master of Science [M.S] [Mathematics] From Montana State University

The Master of Science degree in mathematics at Montana State University is designed to prepare students for further graduate work or for employment in academic, industrial, business, or government forums. Upon entrance, each student meets with the department's Graduate Program Committee to discuss career objectives and first year course work. During the second semester in the program each student forms a Graduate Committee and together, they outline the student's degree program. The prerequisites for the master's degree program in mathematics consist of the following courses or their equivalent: Linear Algebra (M 333) and Introduction to Analysis I (M 383)-M 384 Introduction to Analysis II). Students who have not completed these courses or their equivalent may still enter the master's program but it is suggested that these courses then be taken.
