Graduate Degrees & Programs
The Math Department at UCCS is home to a vibrant graduate program with faculty mentors specialized in a variety of both pure and applied mathematical fields; paid teaching opportunities for qualified graduate teaching fellows; cutting-edge colloquia, conferences, and lecture series; opportunities to gain additional experience with current mathematical topics through weekly applications seminars; and community engagement experiences for those interested.
Master of Science (MS) in Applied Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics offers a strong graduate program leading to the Master of Science (MS) in Applied Mathematics. Specific areas of study currently available include probability and statistics, differential equations, applied analysis, algebra, and coding theory. Students may select a thesis or non-thesis option for the MS. For more information on this graduate program, please contact the department's Graduate Chair.
Students can either follow a general track for the MS degree or tailor their curriculum by choosing one of four tracks:
- PhD Preparation
- Applied and Computational Mathematics
- Education
- Business and Management
Mathematics, MSc
The Master of Sciences (MSc) with Mathematics Emphasis Program is a cross-disciplinary program leading to the Master of Sciences degree. It provides an opportunity to extend and broaden training in the natural sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics. For more information on this graduate program, please contact the department's Graduate Chair. All courses credited toward the degree after admission must be taken at the University of Colorado, at the Colorado Springs, Denver, Health Sciences, or Boulder campuses, over a maximum of five years or six successive summers.
PhD in Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics at UCCS offers a curriculum leading to a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics, which is part of the university's Applied Science program. For more information on this graduate program, please contact the department's Graduate Chair. Please refer to the research page for the primary research interests of the department faculty.
