Contact Information—Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Minnesota Duluth, 140 Solon Campus Center, 1117 University Drive, Duluth, MN 55812 (218-726-8747; fax 218-726-8399; math@d.umn.edu; www.d.umn.edu/math).
Curriculum—This program is for those wishing to pursue careers that use applied mathematics and statistics in science, industry, business, and teaching, and for those wishing to go on for doctoral degrees in mathematics or statistics. It emphasizes the use of modern modeling techniques and computational methods with areas of concentration available in continuous modeling, probability/statistics, and discrete mathematics. The faculty is drawn largely from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, but includes members from the Departments of Computer Science, Chemical Engineering, and Biology.
Prerequisites for Admission—Applicants should have completed an undergraduate degree in mathematics or statistics. However, a student with a degree in another major, and with a substantial background in mathematics or statistics (e.g., computer science or engineering), may also qualify. Students lacking certain prerequisites may make up deficiencies concurrently with graduate work.
Special Application Requirements—Applicants must submit scores from the General Test of the GRE, three letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with their scholarship and research potential; a complete set of official transcripts; and a clearly written statement of career interests, goals, and objectives. Students may apply at any time; however, submission of all applications materials by January 15 for fall semester is strongly encouraged to ensure priority consideration for university fellowships. The deadline for applying for assistantships awarded for the next academic year is March 1. Students can be admitted any term. Students whose native language is not English must submit their TOEFL or IELTS or MELAB scores.

M.S. Degree Requirements | | The master of science degree is offered under both Plan A (with thesis) and Plan B (without thesis). All students must complete at least 33 credits, of which at least 17 must be from approved mathematics or statistics courses or seminars (including a graduate seminar and three of the four core courses), and 6 must be from a minor or related field (statistics is a related field). Plan A also requires 10 thesis credits. Plan B requires a 2-credit project and an additional 8 credits from approved graduate-level mathematics, statistics, or related-field courses.
Language Requirements—None.
Final Exam—The final exams are written and oral.
Minor Requirements for Students Majoring in Other Fields—A minor for the master's degree requires 6 credits in approved MATH or STAT courses.
