The MS program in Mathematics & Scientific Computing develops rigorous foundational mathematical tools that help in careers as researchers and solution providers.
The MS program in Mathematics & Scientific Computing prepares students for careers in research, applications, and teaching. Students choose courses from two areas of concentration for their course work: Mathematics and Computations. Students are required to qualify successfully for eight courses (4 compulsories and 4 electives) each of 3 credit hours’ duration. On successful completion of MS, course work students will be allowed to work on a 6 credit hour thesis on a subject of their interest depending on the availability of the faculty. Students will be required to qualify for the Final (Comprehensive) Examination, as well as write and defend a thesis. The MS Program takes usually two years to complete and students must pass the GRE/NTS exam prior to completion of the degree.
MS Mathematics & Scientific Computing students learn to:
Develop a thorough understanding of mathematical methods before going to apply analytical skills to solve real-life problems.
Apply rigorous mathematical and computational skills used to handle problems to get meaningful results.
Establish and understand a connection between the techniques of mathematical analysis and scientific computing and their
link with the real-life problems.
Eligibility
16 Years of education in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics or any other relevant field. Minimum CGPA of 2.5 (on a scale of 4.0).
Program Requirements
MS requires completion of course work and dissertation/thesis. Minimum duration is 2 years and the maximum is 4 years:
