does anyone here know if there is an online master's degree in mathematics, or computational mathematics offered by any reputable US university? (sharkfish?)  A cursory examination suggests "no."  (was just browsing open U's course offerings, am now jealous of UK/Europeans)

No, not unless you also want a Master's degree in education.  There are two places that offer a master's in education with a mathematics focus that I know of.  One is Montana

The other one I think was in Texas but I forget which.  I'm looking it up now...

"was just browsing open U's course offerings, am now jealous of UK/Europeans"

Yeah.  Australia has a great online university system that offers just about everything.

The US is backward in regard to distance education.

There's NetMath at University of Illinois:

Florida.  I can't find the TExas one.  Anyway, the Texas program was expensive, as I recall, and you can get a master's in math but with a statistics emphasis.

Oh. It was Colorado, not Texas.  MS in Statistics

Then enroll in a UK or Australian program. It is called distance learning for a reason.

LOL.

STFU.  Damn. Duh.  I would enroll in an Australian course, but their certification is a question.  If you haven't gone to a U.S. regionally certified school, your degree may count for shit in some circles.

And if it is certified, the Australian dollar is doing so much better than ours...

The Open U only accepts students from the UK and Eurpoe, otherwise I would have done what Stephen suggests.

"This course is available for study in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and the following European OU study areas:

Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland."

Actually, the Open U does accept students from the USA, but not for the mathematics program.

"Actually, the Open U does accept students from the USA, but not for the mathematics program."

I wonder why.

How much is tuition to Open U?

I cannot find exact details on the site, but I'm guessing the examinations for the course are in-person at a local testing center.

The tuition for each course in the Math MSc program is 395 pounds.

Thanks, world traveler.


I am posting more US math master's programs below:

Thanks Sharkfish. I'll probably just apply to some local schools. My job is reasonably flexible, timewise.
