There are 3 Master's in Mathematics (MSc) options:
The Actuarial Science option is a program devoted to actuarial mathematics. It offers a grounding in research for students planning to continue their studies at the doctoral level, in addition to preparing students for careers as mathematicians or actuaries.
The Pure Mathematics option offers further training in fundamental mathematics and an introduction to research. It prepares students to continue to the doctoral level or for a career in college-level teaching or as a mathematician.
The Applied Mathematics option builds on knowledge acquired at the undergraduate level. It also offers an introduction to research for students planning to continue to the doctoral level, in this discipline or in such related applied fields as engineering, physics, computer science and economics. This option can also lead to careers in college-level teaching or as mathematicians.
Students who have completed the second term of their Master's degree as well as all of the required courses in their program of study could pass to the PhD program without having to write a Masters thesis.
