About the Program
MA Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Wake Forest University offers the degree of Master of Arts. The program is designed to accommodate students seeking either a terminal degree or preparation for Ph.D. work at another institution.
COURSE CURRICULUM
Normallystudents devote two years to complete a master’s degree althoughoccasionallya student will finish in one year and a summer or in three semesters. We believe that most students gain from the experience of investing two full years. The master of arts degree can be obtained in two distinct ways. The traditional program requires the successful completion of eight coursesfour of which are 700 level (i.e.advanced MA degree level) and the preparation and writing of a thesis showing the results of an extended mathematical investigation under the guidance of a faculty advisor. The alternative program does not require a thesis but instead requires the successful completion of twelve coursesfive of which are 700 level. As students typically take three courses per semesteronly the thesis option allows the possibility of finishing in an academic year plus a summer.RANKING
