Embark on your academic journey with the Master of Applied Mathematics (MAS) at Shorelight University of Dayton, a postgraduate degree designed for those seeking to master advanced mathematical techniques and apply them to complex, real-world challenges. This interdisciplinary program is ideal for students aiming to deepen their expertise in areas such as dynamical systems, applied statistics, or computational mathematics, preparing you for impactful careers where quantitative analysis is paramount. You will explore the fundamental principles of mathematics while developing the specialized knowledge needed to tackle contemporary problems across various industries.
This full-time, on-campus MAS program is structured over two years, requiring a minimum of 33 credit hours. You will engage with core mathematics courses, including real analysis and linear algebra, alongside a required Mathematics Clinic that serves as your research component. This clinic allows you to apply your learning to a practical problem, often complementing your chosen area of concentration, which can span up to four courses outside the department. You will graduate with a robust understanding of mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, and statistical methods, ready for roles in data science, research, or specialized technical fields.
