This program provides a rigorous yet flexible pathway to advanced mathematical expertise and interdisciplinary application. Choose between a thesis track (30 credits), ideal for students pursuing original research, or a non-thesis option (36 credits) focusing on coursework. You'll delve deep into core areas such as algebra, analysis, differential equations, probability and statistics, applied mathematics, and computational methods, while also having the freedom to tailor your studies through electives in computer science, engineering, physics, economics, or finance.
Supported by small class sizes and personalized faculty mentorship, you’ll build strong analytical foundations and practical problem-solving skills.
Graduates emerge with powerful, marketable abilities suited to diverse roles in academia, industry, and beyond. Whether your goal is to advance into the Ph.D. Computational Analysis and Modeling program, teach at the collegiate level, or integrate advanced math into engineering, finance, or data science careers, this degree prepares you to excel. If you're driven by curiosity, precision, and innovation, the M.S. in Mathematics at Louisiana Tech shapes you into a confident thinker and problem solver, ready to unlock new opportunities in a data-driven world.
The mission of the Mathematics and Statistics program at Louisiana Tech University is to educate and equip the next generation of thinkers and problem solvers with a rigorous mathematical foundation rooted in logic and with solutions derived from first principles. We aim to develop high quality researchers in our program and problem solvers who think with a first-principles mindset. We also strive to produce high quality, impactful research in our respective fields of study that stand the test of time.
