Graduate Certificates in Actuarial Science

The department of mathematics and statistics offers programs leading to the M.S. in applied mathematics, either with or without a thesis, the master of science for teachers degree, and the Ph.D. in Mathematics. The M.S. in applied mathematics can be pursued with either a mathematics or a statistics emphasis, while the Ph.D. in mathematics can be pursued with an emphasis in mathematics, computational and applied mathematics, or statistics. The M.S. is recommended, but not required, as a prerequisite for the Ph.D. If you intend to pursue the doctorate without obtaining a master?s degree, during the first two academic years you are required to obtain at least 32 hours of graduate credit, with emphasis placed on subject areas that will provide you with a solid foundation in mathematics and/or statistics relevant to your chosen emphasis area. Specifically, these hours should be selected so that you will have obtained an introduction to (a) modern algebra, analysis, statistics and topology if selecting the mathematics emphasis, (b) real analysis, differential equations, partial differential equations, statistics as well as either complex analysis or modern algebra if choosing the computational and applied mathematics emphasis, and (c) linear algebra, probability, and statistical inference, if choosing the statistics emphasis.
