Graduate Study MAT, MS, PhD Master of Arts in Teaching We offer this degree on-campus and by distance-learning. To read about it click on the MAT site. Master of Science The MS degree prepares you to enter a PhD program, to teach at some colleges, and for many positions in business and industry. Read about the research programs described in the discussion of our PhD programs to discover the opportunities we offer to learn special mathematical skills that can qualify you for interesting work in scientific and industrial enterprises. Most people can complete our non-thesis MS program in two years. Doctor of Philosophy We specialize in producing graduates with broad training in the common knowledge of mathematics traditionally shared by all PhD mathematicians and who are capable of continuing a program of original research. Our programs in probability and in differential equations offer the opportunity of including applications, especially in mathematical biology. Our program in combinatorics can include applications to computer science and engineering. The University of Idaho has strong departments of biology, computer science, and several engineering disciplines that complement our mathematics programs to afford good opportunity for training leading to positions in scientific and industrial enterprises. We also believe that many people seeking careers in university teaching and research are better able to develop sustainable research programs and thereby prosper in an academic environment by, at least occasionally, writing papers about or basing papers on a real-world application.
