Description:
The Department of Mathematical Sciences in the College of Humanities and
Sciences offers a Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences with
specialization in several possible areas, including mathematics, applied
mathematics, operations research, statistics, statistical computing, applied
computational mathematics, discrete structures and others.
Students may obtain a designation on their transcripts indicating that their
graduate study has emphasized one of the graduate concentrations by
completing the requirements listed for that concentration. A student who has
not satisfied the requirements for one of the concentrations, but who has
otherwise fulfilled all the requirements for a masterŐs degree, will be
awarded a degree of Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences without any
specialty concentration designation.
Students in the applied mathematics concentration are offered courses in
methods of applied mathematics, including differential equations and
dynamical systems, partial differential equations, integral equations,
calculus of variations, numerical analysis, complex analysis, vector
analysis, and other topics. Emphasis is placed on analytical and numerical
techniques for solving mathematical equations that arise in the physical and
biological sciences, engineering, and economics. Such techniques include
transform methods, Fourier analysis, special functions, orthogonal
polynomials, linearization, conformal mappings, and finite element methods.
It is recommended that students contemplating study in applied mathematics
have undergraduate training in differential equations, linear algebra, and a
year of analysis or applied mathematics. The mathematics concentration
allows students to gain exposure to a wide range of courses in the areas of
real and complex analysis, topology, linear algebra, number theory,
combinatorics, and abstract algebra. Students wishing to prepare for a Ph.D.
program in mathematics can build a solid foundation through an

Description:
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology in the College of Humanities
and Sciences offers a Master of Science degree in Sociology. Students may
study general sociology or pursue the departmental focus on urban social
problems and social change. The program prepares students for positions in
teaching, research, and applied fields. It serves primarily two types of
students: those who wish to use a sociological analysis to perform their
social problems-related work in community agencies, non-profit
organizations, or other settings, and those aiming for Ph.D. programs in
sociology.
Our graduate program emphasizes that many sociologists not only seek to
understand social problems, but they also work to identify viable
alternatives to existing conditions, and contribute towards responsible
social change. Building on this philosophy, our program focus seeks to
bridge basic and applied research through a Research Practicum. This
approach uses sound sociological theory and research methods, consultation
with communities that are directly affected by the issues being studied, and
attention to the work of those who seek social change.
VCU combines graduate study in sociology with an urban environment. This
urban environment offers unique opportunities and resources for studying
social problems and social change. At the same time, the program promotes an
understanding of the interdependent nature of local, national, and
international processes. Students are challenged to consider the
relationship between the local phenomena they may be studying in Richmond
and the broader national and international context. Thus, the program offers
students the unique opportunity to study locally while they think globally.
