Introduction
Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Exploring and understanding the world in which we live is increasingly a matter of mathematical inquiry and discovery. Laptops, smartphones, and video game consoles rely on mathematics, as do the techniques engineers and empirical scientists use to probe nature. Consequently, there is growing need for individuals capable of "speaking the language" of mathematics.
Mathematics provides a broad range of career options; students can find employment in many industries including government, technology, insurance, healthcare, statistics, science, manufacturing, research, finance, and academia.
Students develop advanced problem-solving and critical thinking skills that can be used to find new solutions to very complex problems. These skills are in high demand; and mathematicians may find themselves in analytical modeling, finance, cryptography, data science, research and development, or other career sectors. The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics projects that employment for mathematicians and statisticians will grow 33% from now to 2030—much faster than the average employment growth rate for other occupations.
The Pure and Applied Mathematics Concentration of the Master of Science in Mathematics in the College of Basic and Applied Sciences provides students with a deep and comprehensive foundation in advanced mathematics at the Masters' level. Coursework is tailored to meet the individual needs of students and provides preparation for pursuing additional graduate study and/or pursuing employment in diverse quantitative fields.
MTSU's Master of Science in Mathematics gets students involved in both the understanding and creation of advanced mathematics through quality instruction, opportunities for research, and close faculty-student interaction. A high percentage of program graduates enter Ph.D. programs across the country.
