Overview

Master of Science in Mathematics

The Master of Science (MSc) in Mathematics is a unique blend of pure and applied mathematics and statistics, offering practical experience in applications to science, finance, and mathematical modeling for new technologies.

Its main goal is to provide you with advanced and in-demand skills to develop and analyze mathematical models applicable across multiple disciplines. 

You can gain research experience at Wilfrid Laurier University by writing a thesis or capstone project where you’ll examine modern problems in depth.

This program is normally completed in one year of full-time studies. There are three program options:

  • The thesis option
  • The project option; and
  • The course-based option

Each option can have one of the following fields of concentration attached: financial mathematics, mathematical modeling and statistics, and data analytics.
