The M.S. needs to be in a specific professional field. GT has a math undergrad degree and a master’s in systems engineering. The options within the applied math subject are:

Acturial science
Statistics
Operations Research
Industrial Engineering
Computational Engineering/Science
Systems Engineering

There are others, but what you’ll find is that different schools have many different types of applied math degrees with specific purposes and various names. Like NCState has a Master’s program in Advanced Analytics, which is undoubtedly an applied statistics degree.
