Master of Science [M.S] [Mathematics] From University of Kentucky

The Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to the Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.S.), and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) degrees. Courses of study are available in algebra, analysis, discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, partial differential equations and topology.

The M.A. degree program is based predominantly upon a three-course sequence in algebra, analysis, and topology, and is usually elected by prospective junior college and secondary school teachers. It is a thirty credit-hour program (ten courses) which may be taken with or without a thesis.

The University of Kentucky is a member of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications at the University of Minnesota. Mathematics graduate students attend workshops, summer schools and conferences sponsored by the Institute both in Minneapolis and at other member institutions. The University of Kentucky is also a member of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), the renowned international research institute in Berkeley, California, offering fully funded summer programs for advanced graduate students.
