I have researched that online Indiana University-East math program (I do stuff like that in my spare time). Although the program looks thorough, it forces you to take more strictly math required courses than many other widely known programs. I kind of understand why some smaller schools do this…in order to compete, they make their students take EVERYTHING under the sun. Personally, I think 15 math courses (in semesters not quarters) is just too much. On top of that, IU-East doesn’t offer other applied areas online to go with those math courses.

Now your B.S. Math → M.S. Engineering route is OK (I did the same thing) but my math degree was actually computational mathematics, so I was “applied” from the get-go.
