M.S.
Plan A and Plan B
Director of Graduate Studies: Professor Dalibor Froncek
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).
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
Scores from the General Test of the Graduate Record Examination are
required. They must be mailed to Department of Mathematics and
Statistics directly. Letters of recommendation from three people who are
familiar with your education/professional background. Request forms for
the letter are part of the online application. Statement on career
objectives and motivation. It is a part of the online application.
Students applying for financial aid should have all application
materials submitted by February 15; late applications will be considered
if resources are available. Applicants seeking to enroll during the fall
semester must submit all material by July 15. For initial enrollment in
the spring semester, the deadline is November 1. Students can be
admitted any term. Students whose native language is not English must
submit TOEFL scores.

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.
