Math MS at Miami University

[ponchan]

Does anyone know anything about the MS program at Miami University in Ohio? It's a terminal, funded Masters, and it seems like a good option for people with unconventional backgrounds who would eventually like to pursue a PhD. I'm trying to gauge what sort of PhD programs Miami graduates get accepted to. The department website doesn't provide this info.

Ask the department directly if they keep a placement list from the last few years.  This is completely reasonable to ask for during your decision process, and for what its worth I have received this info from some departments after asking.  In general I'd err on the side of being skeptical about PhD program placement, since they do not have a PhD program at the school.

Also, as other people here will tell you, this forum has more statisticians than mathematicians. You might want to try sites like mathematicsgre.com which has a bigger math population.
