Graduate Certificate in Mathematics (STEM)

The aim of the graduate certificate in mathematics program is to strengthen the mathematical backgrounds of students so that graduates are well positioned to pursue further study in a variety of quantitative fields. This program is ideal, for instance, for those planning to apply to top graduate programs in economics or finance and who wish they had taken more math during their undergraduate years. It is also ideal for those who want to pursue graduate study in mathematics but do not yet have sufficient background.

Four graduate-level courses make up the program. If it is appropriate academically and fits a student's career goals, the department may approve variations. For instance, in place of one of the standard options, a different course in mathematics or in a related field (e.g., statistics) may be accepted.

The courses that make up this program are part of the regular graduate-level curriculum. As much as possible, the department schedules these courses around the lunch hour or after 5 pm for the convenience of those in the program.

This is a STEM designated program.
