Applied Mathematics, Computing, and Machine Learning, Master of Arts (M.A.)

Where the Theoretical Meets the Practical: Applied Mathematics, Computing, and Machine Learning in the Real World

Applied mathematics, computing, and machine learning have the ability to transcend the theoretical by placing value and providing clarity. This field deftly bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical applications, validating and refining theories, and enabling new discoveries.

Unlike programs that focus solely on pure mathematics or computer science, St. John’s distinctive degree program offers deep knowledge of theoretical mathematics as it also strengthens your familiarity with the procedures and algorithms that underlie computation.

Crafting the future of the industry at St. John’s with our cutting-edge Machine Learning Institute

We know how important it is to stay at the forefront of the complex industry of machine learning. That’s why we created the Machine Learning Institute (MLI).

The Machine Learning Institute at St. John’s University addresses the rising demand of machine learning in research, the sciences, and engineering. It offers exciting lectures and minicourses to help you prepare for this rapidly growing and evolving field. Here are just some of the topics covered by the MLI mini courses:

• Python programming, and crash courses in linear algebra and multidimensional calculus
• Introduction to complexity and its application to modeling and games
• Reinforcement learning, time series, and application to finance
• Deep Learning using PyTorch
• Google toolbox for Data Science

“As a student in the Applied Mathematics, Computing, and Machine Learning master’s program, I had a

great experience with 1:1 mentorship with professors, especially with research projects. They always set aside time to help with any questions or concerns.” -Alexis P. Adams ’23G

“My master’s from St. John’s has been extremely important (and a game changer) in my career. Thanks to all the combined analytical, research, and soft and hard skills developed through studying at St. John’s, I am able to deliver business value in my role as a Business Data Analyst for the New York City Department of Health.” -Ismael Monsegnur ’20G

Scholarships

All students are eligible to receive merit-based scholarships upon application (including international students). Scholarships are prorated by the number of credits a student takes per semester. There are no specific scholarships from the department. However, students in this program are eligible for the US National Science Foundation Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program should they be interested in teaching middle or high school.
