WPI’s professional MS degree in Industrial Mathematics will prepare you to use sophisticated mathematics to solve increasingly complex problems that arise in business and industry.
Through our rigorous and hands-on program, you will hone your analytic, modeling, and computational skills—and apply them to make in impact in an industry of interest, such as biology, computer science, physics economics, or engineering.
You will also undertake an industrial project and learn communication and business skills that prepare you to work in multidisciplinary teams and take leadership roles in the corporate world.
Our comprehensive curriculum will give you both the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to become a well-rounded problem solver who is capable of moving from task to task within an organization.
You will build a strong foundation through core courses in numerical methods, modeling, and discrete math. You will also select a 4-course coordinated module that enables you to apply your knowledge to an outside area of interest. Examples of typical modules:
You will hone your professional skills through a master’s seminar focused on topics like writing, presenting, and interviewing, and you will culminate your studies with a professional master’s project.
Through an industrial professional master’s project, you will synthesize and apply your knowledge and skills by tackling—and solving—a real problem arising in your industry of focus. Many students are sponsored by industrial partners from the Center for Industrial Mathematics and Statistics, a unique WPI initiative that builds partnerships between academia and industry.
You will have access to a modern and diverse lineup of computing facilities and software, including state-of-the-art high-performance computing clusters, to carry out your course- and project work.
