The M.A. program is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts of modern mathematics and is appropriate for students who wish to pursue a career teaching at the community or junior college level or for those who intend to enter a doctoral program. The degree requires 30 semester hours of course work that must include the two-semester introductory courses in algebra, topology, and real analysis and one semester of complex analysis. In addition, students are required to complete one upper level sequence in algebra, topology, differential geometry, differential equations, real or complex analysis. Electives can be chosen from other graduate level courses in mathematics.

The M.S. program in statistics gives students training in methodology of applied statistics and also provides a solid foundation in statistical theory. Students' skills in applied statistics are developed through project oriented courses, statistical computing emphasizing S+ and SAS, and faculty supervised experience in the Department's statistical consulting service. Through the statistical consulting service students gain first hand experience assisting with the statistical analysis of problems that come from local institutions such as the Medical College of Ohio and The UT Center for Applied Pharmacology, and from local industries. The program requires 32 semester hours of courses. Among the required courses are applications of statistics, statistical inference, linear statistical models, multivariate analysis, statistical computing, non-parametric statistics, categorical data analysis, statistical consulting, and sample survey methods and theory.

The M.S. program in Applied Mathematics offers students a rigorous introduction to the fundamental tools of applied mathematics, with particular emphasis on differential equations and numerical analysis. The program requires 30 semester hours of course work that includes year-long courses in real analysis, numerical analysis, and differential equations and a semester course in complex analysis. Elective courses can be chosen from graduate courses in applied areas such as linear, nonlinear and dynamic programming, convex analysis, calculus of variations, applied functional analysis, and optimal control. A recently added Industrial Mathematics track allows students to take six of their elective hours in approved courses in the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Engineering, ISOM, Business or Earth, Ecological and Environmental Sciences. A major component of this track is a project report (to serve as a thesis) which contains a solution to a practical "real-life" problem drawn from a company, university department or government unit.

The M.S.E. degree is offered jointly by the Department of Mathematics and the College of Education and Allied Professions, and is appropriate for secondary school teachers seeking graduate training in Mathematics. At least 18 semester hours of mathematics courses are required which must include algebra, linear algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, logic, and analysis. At least 9 hours of education courses are required.
