Master of Science in Applied Mathematics (STEM)

at EDUCO - Stevens Institute of Technology USA

The physics master’s program prepares physics and applied physics students for an academic career path and the pursuit of a Ph.D. in physics, as well as a research-based career in industry.

Physics students will build upon core concepts introduced within a physics undergraduate degree program, studying the fundamental branches of physics while simultaneously developing advanced mathematical and problem-solving skills. The program aims to establish general expertise in physics while also promoting critical thinking skills for multidisciplinary applications.

While many physics graduates go on to obtain a Ph.D., many others also work within research roles in sectors and industries as varied as their interests–defense, aerospace, government, education, healthcare, energy, materials, technology, computing and IT.

The finance world's rapid transition to a digital discipline has created incredible opportunities for experts in computer science, statistics, economics and mathematics to develop solutions to increasingly complex problems, such as how to value an asset, how to assess risk and the smartest ways to manage a portfolio. Quants are some of the most-sought professionals on Wall Street for their coding versatility and ability to model financial data to drive better decision-making.

The Financial Engineering program at Stevens resides in the School of Business, giving it a practical orientation that few other programs offer. Lessons emphasize how technical tools can address specific challenges in the markets, while preparing you to identify inefficiencies, recognize opportunities and develop innovative new products. The Stevens program also recognizes the systemic nature of financial markets and prepares you for the challenges of working in large, interconnected environments.

Intended to meet the need for professionals who can harness complex data and convert it into meaningful information, the Master of Engineering in systems analytics provides students with expertise in visualizing, manipulating and extracting important concepts from systems data, complemented by training in traditional systems decision-making.

The master’s degree equips students with state-of-the art data visualization and knowledge extraction techniques for the purpose of analyzing trends, assessing risk, discovering patterns and building decision models that can better develop, maintain and improve complex engineering systems and enterprises.

The 30-credit Stevens master's degree in Enterprise Project Management emphasizes a strategic perspective that’s crucial to modern project management. This is a program for the technical professional eager to advance in the organization by directing people, budgets and projects toward completion. Curricular themes in strategic perspectives, project planning and cross-project leadership ensure graduates can direct complex, enterprise-level initiatives. Classes include significant analytical components that will challenge you to think quantitatively about challenges in management.

This program is accredited by the Project Management Institute, the leading organization in project management. Classes taken through Stevens can be applied to Project Management Professional certification or certification maintenance.

A master's in software engineering centers on building reliable, responsive, safe and secure software systems that propel industry and society forward in an increasingly interconnected world. In our software engineering program, you'll learn about the life cycle process and how to build sustainable products. You'll also acquire the skill sets necessary to design, build, test, and maintain software systems, and to manage software projects with optimal efficiency.

The School of Systems & Enterprises' (SSE's) software engineering students come from varied backgrounds — computer science, general science, mathematics, engineering, business and liberal arts — to develop the intellectual toolkit necessary to become architects and project leaders who can build the software-intensive systems of the future. The master's in software engineering program equips students with advanced knowledge in software architecture, project management, technical planning, risk management and software assurance – areas that are essential in implementing and overseeing software-intensive projects of high technical complexity.

Unlike financial engineers, who use mathematical modeling and computer science skills to create algorithms and tools, financial analysts combine their programming skills with talents in data analysis and statistics to design innovative solutions to finance problems. They also use excellent business and communication skills to assess client needs and make recommendations to executive teams.

The Stevens master’s in Financial Analytics teaches professionals to apply their physics, statistics or engineering skills to the lucrative finance industry. You’ll learn from faculty whose insights are changing how the industry is thinking about concepts like machine learning, data modeling and optimization in finance. You’ll take courses in one-of-a-kind financial labs, home to the data analysis and visualization tools used on Wall Street. Most importantly, our location on the Hudson River ensures you’ll have regular interaction with industry recruiters in New York City, just 10 minutes away by train or ferry.

The computer engineering master’s program prepares students for specialization in computer systems, real-time and embedded systems, data communications and networks, digital system design, image processing and multimedia, information systems, information systems security and intelligent systems. The program trains students for careers in the computer engineering field requiring advanced and specialized knowledge. By the end, you’ll have impressive accomplishments in hardware and software development under your belt — as well the highly respected reputation of a Stevens engineering degree.

From market and technological changes to policy and budgetary uncertainty, the space industry has been faced with increasing challenges that transcend technical boundaries.

The Master of Engineering in space systems engineering at Stevens, delivered by the primary authors in the field of space systems today, provides experienced professionals with the edge needed to excel in this increasingly complex and competitive industry. Stevens is a recognized provider of space systems engineering education to NASA employees and space industry professionals worldwide, taught in partnership with Teaching Science and Technology, Inc. (TSTI).

In today's space related enterprises, change is the only constant. To fully utilize existing opportunities and explore new ones within a modern space-centric enterprise, it is crucial to have both the technical knowledge necessary to design cutting edge space missions and associated products, as well as the systems knowledge that is required to operate in an increasingly complex technical, business and policy environment.

At Stevens, the graduate certificate in space systems engineering and the master's degree in either space systems engineering or systems engineering with a concentration in space systems allows professionals working in government and the private space-related enterprises to combine robust technical education in space systems design and development, and key space systems processes, with a holistic understanding of systems engineering principles.

The cybersecurity master’s program is designed for security professionals who seek an in-depth understanding of the technical knowledge related to information security as well as an appreciation of the organizational, social, managerial and legal aspects of security and privacy.

Cybersecurity is a high-growth field currently experiencing a demand far greater than the supply of trained professionals available. The White House has reported that in the coming years as many as 30,000 new cybersecurity professionals are needed by the United States government alone.
