Overview

The Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences program at The University of Vermont has two options: coursework (non-thesis) and thesis, which are explained in the rubric on Specific Requirements below. Those applicants interested in the thesis option should review research interests of our Department’s faculty. The Department also offers an Master’s degree programs in Statistics and Biostatistics, as well as Accelerated Master’s programs in Mathematics and in Statistics for UVM undergraduate students.

Why choose UVM?

Our Department is large enough to offer classes and research experiences in a broad range of mathematical subjects, while small enough to give students ample opportunity to interact with our active research faculty.

We offer a variety of graduate classes, as well as flexible independent studies. For example, graduate students take classes in:

Applied mathematics: complex systems, differential equations, Fourier analysis, mathematical modeling, mathematical biology, numerical analysis,…

Pure mathematics: algebra, real/complex analysis, combinatorics, cryptography, geometry, number theory, topology,…

We have a regular Department Colloquium and regular seminars, such as the Combinatorics Seminar and the Quebec-Vermont Number Theory Seminar, as well as seminars in related departments, such as complex systems, computer science, engineering, physics and statistics.
