Hi, I would like to know where I can transfer any of the course credits for this program to Computer Science (MS) or related Masters Degree? Course structure is as follows RIT (Applied & Computational Mathematics) First Year MATH-611 Numerical Analysis 3 MATH-651 Combinatorics and Graph Theory I 3 MATH-671 Number Theory 3 MATH-601 Methods of Applied Mathematics 3 MATH-605 Stochastic Processes 3 MATH-652 Combinatorics and Graph Theory II 3 Second Year MATH-771 Mathematics of Cryptography 3 Electives 6 MATH-790 Thesis 9 Total Semester Credit Hours : 36 Also, if possible, please provide quality of this program in various metrics (..like professors, courses offered, jobs after graduating etc. ) Thanks.

Hi, I got admit to RIT's Applied and Computational Mathematics program (MS). The course Structure is as follows : (with options either in : Discrete Math/ Dynamical systems/ scientific Computing) First Year MATH-611 Numerical Analysis 3 MATH-651 Combinatorics and Graph Theory I 3 MATH-671 Number Theory 3 MATH-601 Methods of Applied Mathematics 3 MATH-605 Stochastic Processes 3 MATH-652 Combinatorics and Graph Theory II 3 Second Year MATH-771 Mathematics of Cryptography 3 Electives 6 MATH-790 Thesis 9 Total Semester Credit Hours : 36 I have bachelor's degree in Computer Science and (my graduation goal) I wish to seek career in Machine learning or Artificial Intelligence in general, Operational research being my second choice. I do have interest in mathematics and designing/working on models(simulation). So my questions are, From the job/career perspective, is this program marketable? (not limited to USA) If not, are the course credits transferable to Computer Science (or related) Master's program? and If not that either, which further academic programs I can channel through this program, to achieve my goal? (like M.S. or Ph.Ds .. though I am bit concern/nervous about spending 3-5 yrs on Ph.D ) Regarding the jobs in the field of applied and/or computational math, I read on some the forums and reports. According to those, degrees from the top 15-20 universities (IVY leagues) are worthwhile and the employers don't bother with the resume of students from lesser schools[*]. Being an international student, I have very blurred understanding about the quality of this program and the future consequences. Considering, the high tuition fees and limited fee waiver, I have to weigh my options. I would greatly appreciate your help (any RIT alumni there? ). Please respond or guide me to right information as I have to make my decision within few weeks. I'll be happy to elaborate, if any information is insufficient. Thanks for spending your time to read my somewhat longer post. I hope to get some quality response. Regards, C.g.
