About Mathematics in Ohio University

A principal feature of the master’s program in mathematics is the possibility of designing a study plan to meet a student’s individual needs and interests. A master’s degree in mathematics can be used to fulfill several different goals, and the program meets this diversity of expectations in its several tracks. While the coursework varies somewhat, all tracks assure the student obtains a solid mathematical foundation and a rigorous and versatile training in analytic problem solving using mathematical tools. All tracks require at least 40 graduate credit hours and can normally be completed in two years.

Many master’s students are trained and financially supported as teaching assistants and have the opportunity to teach classes as the primary instructor. This is a full-time program. Normative time to completion is two academic years.
