Master of science in Quantitative Analysis will teach you to use mathematics to understand and predict behavior and events. Private and public institutions rely on these understandings and predictions, making quantitative analysts highly sought after by employers. To ensure your success, the master's degree also provides you with the professional skills necessary to succeed in government, consulting, industry, and finance.

Our master’s in chemistry emphasizes student research as they  learn to design, conduct, and analyze in our modern and specialized laboratories. First, you’ll build a solid foundation in methods, statistics, and research design. Then, you’ll choose a track that will prepare you for a career in clinical labs, pharmaceuticals, and biodefense, or you can customize your program for further graduate study. 

 BS in applied mathematics, you’ll use data to solve real-life problems and make an impact in a variety of popular and emerging fields. Courses range from natural sciences like biology and physics to scientific computing and statistics. 

The US is experiencing an acute shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals. Well-trained professionals who can wield mathematical models to protect sensitive data are in growing demand. Our MA program combines the study of applied mathematics, data science, and information technology. Our DC location allows students to gain valuable job experience while earning graduate credit.

Issues of identity, whether avowed or ascribed and socially constructed or naturally derived, fundamentally shape people's lives and society. In particular, race, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, and nationality are determinate identities for many, though in reality, everyone holds multiple identities at the same time. Although these identities often appear to be static and fixed from the outside, they are dynamic and ever-changing, driven by the broader cultural and social influences in which they arise and exist. Courses in this Thematic Area examine the nature of these identities in a world in transition. Our courses, embodying both theoretical and grounded approaches, explore each of these identities in their own right, as well as in a historical and an intersectional manner that explores the relationship between them.

This program is designed to give you the breadth of background necessary in these four disciplines to participate effectively in decision making in the public arena, especially the practical training necessary to deal with social problems as public issues.

You’ll develop your own artistic direction and self-expression through a liberal arts curriculum that includes hands-on courses in painting, sculpture, video, and digital photography. Here, students exhibit their work in the Katzen Arts Center alongside high-profile artists from around the world. 

The Master's of Science in Data Science program features:

• Your choice of five tracks: Applied Public Affairs, Business Analytics, Computer Science, Environmental Science or Microeconomic Analysis.
• Coursework focused on learning statistical methods and programming, regression, statistical machine learning, and political analysis.
• The offering of core courses such as Statistical Programming in R and Statistical Machine Learning.
• The beautiful location of Washington DC, offering internship and employment opportunities.

The world works in fascinating ways, and AU physics students are driven to learn how. Whether you pursue a BS or BA, we offer nationally-recognized labs, prestigious internship opportunities, and a diverse, dedicated faculty. You can reach for the stars through our NASA partnerships or build prototypes in the Design and Build Lab, and you’ll collaborate with experts on hands-on research.

Asian Studies (BA) aims to understand Asia in a dynamic global context. It enhances students' understanding of historical and contemporary global culture and politics by enabling students to engage with an extensive and intensive study of Asia in the past and present. Students explore the societies of East and South Asia and their global ramifications. The program offers a lively academic study of Asia through interdisciplinary curriculum, internships, international exchange programs, and study abroad.
