Besides the Data Science Master's degree, the Division of Applied Mathematics does not offer a professional Masters program. However, Brown undergraduate and graduate students can enroll in our graduate program to earn a ScM in Applied Mathematics in four different ways:
Four-Year Concurrent Degree Program: The Four-Year Concurrent Degree Program leads to a Baccalaureate and Master’s Degree. This program allows exceptionally capable Brown students to combine their last year or two of undergraduate study with graduate study, resulting in the simultaneous completion of both a Baccalaureate Degree and a Master’s Degree.
Open Graduate Program: The new open graduate program allows Brown PhD students to purse a ScM in a different discipline while they work on their PhD. For more information please click here.
Fifth Year Masters: Brown undergraduates may be allowed to continue at the University for a master’s degree after completing their bachelor’s degrees.
Master’s Degree en Route to Ph.D.: Brown Ph.D. students from any discipline can earn an ScM degree in applied mathematics if they satisfy the requirements for the ScM degree. Applied Mathematics Ph.D. students automatically receive an ScM in Applied Mathematics once they satisfy the requirements for the ScM degree. This is subject to the approval of the student’s Director of Graduate Studies.
Brown undergraduate students interested in receiving a 5th year Masters in Applied Mathematics can find information on how to apply by visiting the Graduate School, 5th Year Master's Degree webpage.
