[My MA program] was rigorous, I must confess, but it has provided me with not only a greater understanding of the mathematical world, but also improved my data analytic skills. The quality, wide variety of classes, and knowledgeable faculty made studying in a new discipline interesting, informative, challenging, and rewarding. This has given me the skills needed as a researcher and let me make connections with great researchers, both within the MSU and HBCU community and all over the world.- Ikechukwu Nwamadi, MA in Mathematics '21
