Program Overview

Mathematics knows no boundaries. Neither should you.

Mathematics lays the foundation for complex thinking skills and teaches multiple problem-solving abilities. Which may be why the American mathematician William Paul Thurston said “Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations or algorithms: it is about understanding.” The Master of Arts in Mathematics degree program at the University of Missouri–St. Louis helps students of all backgrounds with a love for mathematics develop that greater understanding.

Master of Arts in Mathematics

The MA in Mathematics program at UMSL offers students the option of focusing on either applied math for those interested in non-teaching careers, or pure math for those seeking teaching careers. Graduates of the program will be able to enhance their existing careers as high-school math teachers, teach mathematics at the college level, build a foundation for the continuation of their education in a PhD program, or work as applied mathematicians or statisticians in positions requiring strong quantitative skills. Students may enroll in the program on a part-time basis, but must have at least a bachelor’s degree in mathematics or in a field with significant mathematical content.
