In keeping with our Jesuit tradition, we impart to our students the knowledge, skills, and vision necessary to make a difference in the world. Our mix of rigorous academics, hands-on learning, and values-based education offered by a cadre of dedicated, accessible faculty members provides the perfect environment for personal and professional growth.
Master of Science Programs (45 Quarter Units)
- Applied Mathematics

Graduate Minor in Science, Technology and Society (STS)
Add an additional 12 units to your MS degree and you will earn a Minor in Science, Technology and Society (STS). The graduate minor in STS is designed to help students gain a deeper understanding of the influence that engineering has on society (and vice versa).
The scope of the minor is broad, and includes topics that range from the Social Impact of New Technologies to Applied Ethics, Sustainability and Religion. As such, it reflects an educational philosophy that goes well beyond narrow specialization and promotes a global and societal orientation. All the courses in this program have a distinctly interdisciplinary flavor, and are designed to develop creativity, innovation and leadership.
Financial Aid for the STS Minor
Students who have declared a graduate minor in Science, Technology and Society (STS) are eligible for a special form of financial aid. The amount of aid is limited to 75% of tuition for up to 12 units (excluding fees). These funds can be applied only to courses taken beyond the 45 units that are required for a Master's degree.
