Course Overview
In addition to offering traditional Masters and Doctoral degrees in nearly every field of Mathematics, the School participates in several interdisciplinary graduate programs in collaboration with other units on campus. At any given time, we train over 80 PhD and 20 Masters students, as well as several visiting graduate students from all over the world. Our graduate programs are designed so that students will not only obtain a broad perspective in advanced mathematics, through a solid foundation of fundamental courses, but also are exposed to the contemporary applications of mathematics in other disciplines. With about 30 graduate courses offered each Fall and Spring semester, not to mention numerous seminars and colloquia, there is always something of interest for everyone. The Master of Science in Mathematics is meant to provide a rigorous introduction to graduate-level mathematics in a wide range of sub, disciplines. Our MS program is aiming chiefly at students who will continue to a PhD in Mathematics, but who intend to strengthen their mathematical background prior to entering doctoral studies. This program is offered by Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). At the same time, several doctoral students in other departments at Georgia Tech who have the need for advanced mathematical training find our program of interest and end up earning an MS in Mathematics as a secondary degree. The MS degree can be completed in three semesters, or even two, depending on the work load.
