Master of Science in Mathematics

Mathematicians and statisticians analyze data and apply mathematical and statistical techniques to help solve real-world problems in business, engineering, healthcare, and other fields. Governors State's Master of Science in Mathematics covers a wide range of mathematics including abstract algebra, probability and statistics, combinatorics, advanced calculus, the history of mathematics, financial mathematics, and mathematical modeling while emphasizing both the applied and theoretical aspects of these disciplines.
With an M.S. in Mathematics, you will gain valuable skills in problem-solving and mathematical inquiry, qualifying you to pursue a career using mathematics or to continue your studies at the Ph.D. level. Many mathematicians use their skills to pursue careers in fields such as computer programming, system analysis, statistics, or data science and analytics.

In addition to the university admissions requirements, students must have:

a cumulative undergraduate grade point average of 2.75 (out of a possible 4.0). Students seeking admission to the GSU Master of Science in Mathematics program with a GPA lower than 2.75 may petition to the graduate program coordinator for admission.
submit a letter of application including a statement of personal interest in pursuing a master's degree in mathematics,
submit three professional or academic letters of reference
Students may apply for the Master of Science in Mathematics program at Governors State University with a baccalaureate degree in any field from an accredited university. An undergraduate major in mathematics, actuarial science, engineering, business, science, or computer science is recommended. Students must have completed, with a grade of C or higher, a three-semester sequence in calculus, a course in modern algebra, a course in linear algebra, and a course in analysis. Students may be conditionally admitted if they do not meet the undergraduate prerequisites for the graduate core courses.
