Program Information
The Master of Mathematical, Computational and Statistical Sciences is a joint program of the Departments of Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics. The program is interdisciplinary both in concept and structure, and furthers the mission of the University of Manitoba in its intent to enhance contacts and partnerships with outside organizations.
Students enrolled in the program are employees of industry, business or government. A major component of a student's program is a practicum, which is intended to make an important contribution to a project at the student's place of employment. While working on the practicum the student will be jointly supervised by an Industry Advisor (from the student's workplace) and an Academic Advisor (from the University).
Fields of Research
All applied areas of mathematics, computer science and statistics are potential fields of research under this program.
Research Facilities
The Institute of Industrial Mathematical Sciences is a research institute within the Faculty of Science. The IIMS has the mandate to conduct applied research in the mathematical, computational or statistical sciences -- either in collaboration with industry, or on problems motivated by industrial applications. The IIMS also facilitates collaboration between mathematical scientists and industrial partners, and among mathematical scientists in different disciplines. The director of the IIMS is the coordinator of the Master of Mathematical, Computational and Statistical Sciences program.

Admission
All applications will be reviewed on an individual basis, using the criteria for admission of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Students are normally expected to have completed a four-year Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Management, Science or other related areas for entrance. In exceptional cases, industrial experience together with appropriate university courses may be considered to be equivalent to the completion of a four-year degree.

Program Requirements
Minimum Program requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Studies are found in the Graduate Studies Regulations Section of this calendar. A minimum of 18 credit hours of approved course work, and a practicum. The specific courses to be taken will depend upon the student's background and area of concentration. Normally, the courses to be taken will be selected from the three participating departments, although appropriate courses from the faculties of Engineering and Management may also be permitted. A required course of all students is a graduate level Industrial Modelling course. This course is currently under development, and will be team taught by members of the three departments.
Second language reading requirement: none
Expected time to graduate: 18 months
