The Division of Computing, Mathematics and Technology’s Master Programs

The Division of Computing, Mathematics and Technology is a part of the College of Arts and Sciences at GSU and offers students two challenging master programs.  Our graduate program in Computer Science is an applications-focused program with a software engineering orientation.  The M.S. in Mathematics degree provides students with exceptional critical thinking and problem solving skills.  Graduates are qualified to pursue careers that use mathematics.

The M.S. in Computer Science is designed to prepare students for employment as software engineering professionals in a wide range of business, industrial and government settings.  The rigorous curriculum covers topics such as the design and development of software, systems programming, applications programming and the effective use of software resources.  Our dedicated faculty’s wide range of research is reflected in the course work presented to students.

GSU’s M.S. in Mathematics emphasizes problem solving and mathematical inquiry. The course work includes a wide range of mathematics such as abstract algebra, probability and statistics, combinatorics, advanced calculus, the history of mathematics, financial mathematics and mathematical modeling.  It covers both the applied and theoretical aspects of these disciplines.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of mathematicians is expected to increase at a faster than average rate when compared to all occupations.  Employment of actuaries is expected to increase by 21 percent over the period of 2008-2018.  Jobs for computer scientists and database administrators with master's degrees are expected to grow 34.1 percent from 2008 to 2018, and jobs for network systems and data communications analysts are expected to grow more than 50 percent in the same period.  Please see our website to learn more about these and our other programs in the Division of Computing, Mathematics and Technology.
