These graduate programs and courses are offered by the Long Island, New York campus of Hofstra University.

Program Description

Welcome to Graduate Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics offers a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics. The Master of Science is designed to meet the needs of students seeking to initiate or enhance a career in applied mathematics in industry.

The Master of Science program can prepare students for Ph.D. study. Our graduates teach in high school and college, work in industry, and have received fellowships at Ph.D. institutions such as UCLA and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

At Hofstra, we stress close contact between faculty and students through small classes, seminars, and individual reading courses. Classes meet in the evening, one or two evenings a week for each course. Students work with faculty on a variety of research projects, such as our funded research group in mathematical modeling of the heart. You can combine your study of mathematics with another field (under advisement) by applying courses in education, business, computer science, and the natural sciences to your degree.
