Master of Science [M.S] [Mathematics] From University of Illinois

This MS in Mathematics program allows students a wide range of course choices and can offer good preparation either for a job in industry or for pursuit of a doctorate in mathematics at another university. It is rare, though not impossible, for students to enter the PhD program at the University of Illinois after finishing the MS in Mathematics. The degree requires 32 credit hours and can normally be completed in 18 months. A master's thesis is optional. Students may begin the program in either the Fall or the Spring semester. Financial aid is generally not available, although students in this program are occasionally hired as teaching assistants after they are enrolled.
