| | The web site of Georgetown University's MS program in Mathematics and Statistics has moved tohttp://www1.georgetown.edu/departments/math/programs/graduate/Your browser will redirect you to that site in a few seconds. As of April 2008, this site will no longer be maintained.IntroductionTheMasters' program in Mathematics and Statistics is now in the middle of its second year. More than 50 talented and enthusiastic students fromthe United States and from abroad have participated in four courses in the fall semester, and we are happy to congratulate the first nine successful graduates of our program on their success. We are now accepting applications for Fall 2008. Our program prepares students for professional careers in areas as varied as computational science and engineering, financial modeling, and bioinformatics, and in industries ranging from defense and homeland security to biotechnology and consumer finance. The Washington area is home to a large and rapidly expanding range of businesses, industries, and federal agencies in these areas, and high level technical and quantitative skills are in great demand. Our program offers close integration of Mathematics and Statistics and broad training for all students. This combination is not found anywhere else and will open many doors to our graduates. Georgetown University, with its tradition of individual attention to the needs of students, is an ideal place to obtain such a degree. The curriculum is centered around a common core of courses in Mathematics and Statistics. Students then have the option of additional studies in either mathematics and it applications or in statistics. Emphasis is placed on broad knowledge in the mathematical sciences, practical experience in consulting and internships, and on communication skills. There is no thesis requirement. The program accommodates the needs of part-time students who live off-campus. Classes meet once day a week in the early evening. All classes are offered on Georgetown University's Main Campus. The course of study can be completed in three semesters of full-time study or in up to six semesters of part-time study. A mathematical background equivalent to a Minor in Mathematics (mathematical courses at least through Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra) is recommended for successful work in our program. Interested applicants whose mathematical preparation falls short of this level should contact the program and will receive detailed recommendations to get them ready for entry. For entering students who have attained this level but need to fill some gaps in their preparation, bridge courses can be arranged in the summer of each academic year.
