Master of Science [M.S] [Mathematical Sciences] From University of West Florida

The program prepares students for careers in science, education and teaching, business, industry, or government and is an excellent path for those who plan to pursue doctoral studies. Courses are offered synchronously face-to-face and online.

This program permits students considerable flexibility in choosing courses. For example, students who want to seeking careers in financial/investment industries, banks, insurance companies, or government may choose more statistics courses that emphasize the use, adoption, and development of statistical methods and state-of-the-art computer technology in the analysis of data from problems in all fields of study.

All courses in the department's M.S. program are taught via Blackboard Collaborate, an online instructional platform. Therefore each course will contain both face-to-face and distance students. Admission requirements, program requirements, and course listings for face-to-face and distance students are identical. For distance students to succeed in our hybrid distance learning program, it is very important that distance students attend live each lecture via Blackboard Collaborate. The strength of the online graduate program and students' success depend on the live interaction between students and lecturers.
