Program Purpose The Master of Science in Mathematics provides the student with basic graduate training in mathematics. Master of Sciences students may choose widely ranging programs of study that may focus on pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics and teaching. The coursework in each case prepares the student for employment in the mathematics profession either in academia, in government, in business and industry or to pursue further graduate education. Learning Outcomes: Upon graduation, our MS students will demonstrate a good understanding of the theoretical foundations of their subject and will be able to apply theopretical concepts to solve a wide variety of problems in at least one area of specialization within mathematics. Upon graduation, our MS students will have a deep understanding of the literature in at least one particular subfield of mathematics. Upon graduation, our MS students will demonstrate an ability to present and discuss mathematics in oral, written and graphic forms. Upon graduation, our MS students will demonstrate the ability to work effectively as team members. Upon graduation, our MS students will demonstrate an understanding of their professional and ethical

Admission to graduate status in the Master's program requires that students hold a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, or its equivalent, with a grade point average of at least 3.0 and that they show promise of success in graduate work. The prerequisites for the various programs vary. Master of Arts / Master of Science degrees, qualified applicants typically possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in mathematics. Students should be prepared to take the courses that directly lead to qualifying exams.
GRE Exams While GRE general and mathematics subject test scores are not required for graduate admission application, we understand that some applicants may prefer to have test scores to be included in the evaluation. In this case you may submit the test scores, especially the mathematics subject test score if you are interested in pure mathematics areas, and we will take them into consideration. On the other hand, the omission of GRE test scores will not adversely impact your application.
English Tests All applicants must meet the University of Utah's minimum requirements for English proficiency, click here.
Additionally, successful applicants for Teaching Assistantships must be proficient in their spoken and listening English skills. Those skills are usually reflected in the submitted TOEFL scores (or equivalent). In most cases, for those subsections of the TOEFL, we look for scores of at least about 20, and optimally, of at least about 23.
