The SDSU Department of Mathematics and Statistics is a large, diverse, and active organization. The mission of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics is to provide a rich, inclusive environment which fosters excellent student centered instruction and engagement in high-quality research and scholarly activity.  The department provides mathematical and statistical services and prepares graduates that improve the quality of life in South Dakota, the region, the nation, and the world.

The SDSU Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers the M.S. in Mathematics, the M.S. in Statistics, the M.S. in Data Science, and the Ph.D. in Computational Science and Statistics. All four programs offer students the opportunity to pursue graduate studies in a collegial environment with high faculty-student interaction and research activity, and are particularly effective at preparing graduates to work in business, industry, or government as well as the more traditional area of higher education.
