i'm essentially questioning in which there are a few sturdy applications to get a masters in arithmetic. whilst locating a list of these isn't so difficult, i am conscious that a number of them serve in particular to help the ones whose undergraduate math training is a bit susceptible to be a PhD candidate. i'm going to count on (perhaps wrongfully) that i am now not in that category. So my query is this: Assuming i am qualified to pursue a PhD in mathematics, but am barely uneasy about a 5 year commitment, which abbreviated graduate school alternatives are to be had to me?

If your goal is to do research in pure mathematics, then even if you are not 100% sure that you are going to reach it (who can be?), I'd recommend you to apply to Ph.D. programs. A terminal M.S. program is not likely to be a good fit precisely because it's designed to serve a different group of people with different objectives. As someone serving on a graduate committee, I don't have a problem with an applicant who is interested in math and has what it takes to study it, even if the applicant is not quite sure that s/he is going to spend 5+ years here. It's easier to deal with someone who can do PhD but chooses not to, than the other way around.
