    I know that mathematics degrees are hard to find by DL; however, anyone whose interests lie more towards applied mathematics should take a look at the MS Operations Research offered by Florida Institute of Technology:

    Core Requirements (4 courses) - 12
    MTH 5411 Mathematical Statistics 1 - 3
    ORP 5001 Deterministic Operations Research Models - 3
    ORP 5002 Stochastic Operations Research Models - 3
    ORP 5010 Mathematical Programming - 3
    or
    ORP 5003 Operations Research Practice - 3

    Restricted MTH/ORP Electives (3 courses from the list below) - 9
    MTH 5051 Applied Discrete Mathematics - 3
    MTH 5102 Linear Algebra - 3
    MTH 5401 Applied Statistical Analysis - 3
    MTH 5412 Mathematical Statistics 2 - 3
    ORP 5020 Theory of Stochastic Processes - 3
    ORP 5021 Queuing Theory - 3

    Computation/Computer Science (1 course from the list below) - 3
    CSE 5100 Data Structures and Algorithms - 3
    CSE 5210 Formal Languages and Automata Theory - 3
    CSE 5211 Analysis of Algorithms - 3
    CSE 5290 Artificial Intelligence - 3
    CSE 5610 Computational Complexity - 3
    MTH 5301 Numerical Analysis - 3
    MTH 5305 Numerical Linear Algebra - 3
    MTH 5320 Neural Networks - 3
    ORP 5050 Discrete System Simulation - 3

    Free Electives - 9

    Nonthesis Option: Three courses in areas of interest to the student as approved in the student’s program plan.

    Thesis Option: At least one course plus up to six credits for thesis. The thesis should be an in-depth study of some topic and/or problem in operations research, subject to the approval
    of the thesis committee.

    TOTAL CREDITS REQUIRED 33


    I know it is not an applied math degree, but course-wise it seems really close!
