Masters of Science (MSc) Applied Mathematics (Non Thesis) Tulane University - Shorelight

This program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to broaden and deepen their knowledge of mathematics with an emphasis on those areas that have been most important in science and engineering. The student will also examine, through seminars and case studies, examples of significant applications of mathematics to other areas. This expanded base of knowledge, together with extensive experience in problem solving should prepare the student for further studies leading to the Ph.D. degree or for immediate employment in many areas of industry and government.

To enter the program the student should have a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, or a related field, and have completed undergraduate courses in Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. Students without these prerequisites may take them without credit toward the M.S. degree. Partial tuition waivers may be available to qualified students.

Since beginning as a medical college in 1834, Tulane University has grown into one of the most well-respected research universities in the country. Tulane University is one of just 62 members of the Association of American Universities, an elite group of top-ranked research institutions.

But Tulane University hardly an ivory-tower, view-from-40,000-feet kind of place. Yes, you’ll find a lot of intellectual firepower on campus. Tulane University faculty are involved in projects as diverse as protecting the aquatic resources of the Gulf and chronicling the region’s singular musical heritage. But because of their size – just 8,610 undergrads; classes average 21 students – you won’t be looking at that academic talent from afar. The brilliant faculty who are carrying out that work also happen to be eager, nurturing educators, and Tulane University’ll be teaching your classes from the minute you arrive.

Tulane University offers more than 70 majors in five different schools, including science and engineering, architecture, business, liberal arts and public health. Can’t pick? About a third of the students here double major.

Every single one of our undergraduate students, though, gives back. Tulane University was the first research university to require community service in the curriculum. Last year alone, Tulane University students logged more than 780,000 hours of civic service in New Orleans.
