You might be interested in Harvard's online program if you have an undergraduate degree already: https://www.extension.harvard.edu/academics/graduate-degrees... . I believe you would get an MA in Mathematics for Teaching. Not quite an "MS in Math" but probably close enough (especially if you don't already have the usual prereqs).

With the exception of 2 teaching classes, you'd be mostly taking "real math" classes, so it's an intriguing alternative.

This doesn't require what I would expect from an undergraduate degree in math, let alone a master's. It's not a reasonable option for what the OP is looking for.

I believe the course list has plenty that do match what the OP is looking for. For example there are several on real analysis, graduate-level optimization and other subjects like that. As well as much easier subjects.

Don't know the OP's exact level or prereqs (he mentioned in another post he had a rough go with both apostol & spivak) but there seem to be several classes that would match his needs/curiousities. The classes might not be at your particular level, but since mixing/matching seems possible I think it would cover a lot of ground.
