Overview
About the program
For teachers and analysts who use mathematics daily. You study the core branches of mathematics and how to model real problems with them.
The Mathematics program is designed for people who already work in the field. It covers calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics, differential equations, discrete mathematics, and ends with mathematical modelling.
Like every Madison program, it is built for working adults. Courses you already master through your work are tested and recorded with a grade; the rest you study online, at your own pace, with tasks carried out in your own workplace.
In preparation. This program is not open for enrollment yet. It opens when its curriculum and courses are in place on the learning platform.
Outcomes
What you will be able to do
- 01CalculusExplain the core ideas of calculus and use them to read real situations at work.
- 02Linear algebraAnalyse a real problem in linear algebra and recommend a course of action backed by evidence.

Professional titles
The field, by title
Beside the degree, this field is planned as a professional credential, with the title written before it. A title is not a degree. How titles work.
- 01Expert in MathematicsFor people who have practiced Mathematics for years and want their competence assessed and recorded.
- 02Consultant in MathematicsFor experienced people who advise organizations on Mathematics.
- 03Trainer in MathematicsFor experienced people who teach or coach others in Mathematics at work.
- 04Diploma in MathematicsA focused credential in Mathematics, based on assessed knowledge and evidence of practice.
In preparation. No title is open yet; the requirements are published when it opens.
