Graduate ProgramsThe Mathematics Department at NC A&T offers two Masters programs:
Master of Science in Applied Mathematics The Applied Mathematics Program was established in 1986 and is designed to prepare students for doctoral study. Students have a choice of recommended areas of concentration that interleave advanced mathematical courses with appropriate work in closely related fields. Possible areas of concentration include Computational Mathematics and Applications, Statistics and Applications, Operations Research, Control and Systems Theory, and Dynamic Systems. The student may also, in consultation with their thesis advisor and committee, choose any other appropriate field of investigation in Mathematical Sciences, or interdisciplinary study and research in Computational Science, Geosciences, or Biomedical Science. Degree requirements include a minimu m of 30 hours (including 6 hours of thesis work) for thesis option, or 33 hours for non-thesis option. To help insure that graduates are fully qualified for doctoral work, the department maintains affiliations with Ph.D.-granting graduate faculties of other institutions. Competitive graduate student assistantships are available for qualified applicants. Contact Dr. Bolindra N. Borah, Applied Mathematics Graduate Program Coordinator, for more information on the program and graduate assistantships. Master of Science in Mathematics, Secondary Education The program in Mathematics, Secondary Education, is designed to prepare students for teaching and/or for doctoral study in mathematics education. The faculty have significant involvement with various national initiatives including Calculus Teaching Reform, Calculators in the Classroom, and Multi-media Computers in the Classroom. Competitive graduate student assistantships are available for qualified applicants. For more information on this Master's Program, and assistantships contact Dr. Bampia A. Bangura, Mathematics Education Program Coordinator. |
