University of Minnesota    Minneapolis,   MN

M.S. Degree with Emphasis in Applied and Industrial Mathematics

This program aims to introduce students to the mathematics appropriate for a broad range of uses in industry. Problems of modeling also play a significant role in coursework as well as projects. Each student will spend one term (usually summer) working in an industrial laboratory.

For detailed information see the program's own webpage at http://www.math.umn.edu

  Students in this program typically take some coursework in an engineering department to develop understanding of the practical problems they'll be addressing in an industrial setting.

  This innovative program began in 1993, and has been building connections with industry both locally and internationally. Our program has been a model for similar developments at other universities.

  Students come to this program with degrees in Math, Physical Science or Engineering, with a mathematical orientation. The program prepares them for industrial applications.

  Typically students in this program are supported by teaching assistantships or research assistantships during the nine-month academic year (about $12,700 for 2000-2001), and additional summer funding either from an industrial internship (varying amounts) or from teaching or research appointments or summer fellowships in our department (about $2,500 in summer 2000). Support includes tuition and an insurance package.3
