Accelerated B.S. Mathematics - Applied and Computational Mathematics to M.S. in Mathematics, M.S. in Mathematics - Applied and Computational Concentration, or M.S. in Mathematics - Mathematics Education Concentration Program

The accelerated mathematics programs provide an accelerated pathway into the following graduate programs: M.S. in Mathematics, M.S. in Mathematics - Applied and Computational Concentration, or M.S. in Mathematics - Mathematics Education Concentration.

To be considered for the accelerated program into one of the M.S. in Mathematics programs, students must

  • Be enrolled in either the B.A. in Mathematics, B.S. in Mathematics - Mathematics, or B.S. in Mathematics - Applied and Computational Mathematics Program,
  • Have completed 60 credits with a minimum of 24 mathematics credits,
  • Have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 including a minimum GPA of 3.00 for mathematics courses.

An undergraduate candidate must choose one of the three M.S. in Mathematics programs when applying to the accelerated program.  Students in the accelerated program can take up to 15 credits of graduate coursework to satisfy their B.S. program requirements. Approved graduate substitutions appear in the following table.

Specific Course Replacements
MAT 545
Real Analysis I 1
or MAT 575
 Complex Analysis I
MAT 548
Industrial Mathematics - Continuous Models 2
MAT 552
Operations Research 3
MAT 553
Stochastic Modeling 4
MAT 554
Scientific Computing 5
Free Electives
Undergraduate electives may be replaced by any of the above courses or any other 500-level MAT, MTE, STA, or CSC course.
1

Choose one (but not both) of the analysis substitutions since the B.S. in Mathematics - Applied and Computational Mathematics Concentration program requires only one analysis class (real or complex). May replace MAT 441 or MAT 445.

2

May replace MAT 433.

3

May replace MAT 427.

4

May replace MAT 479.

5

May replace MAT 425.

All math major courses must be passed with a C or better.

To track their individual degree progress, students are advised to access their Degree Audit via RamPortal regularly. For more information, visit the Degree Audit FAQ webpage.

The following is a sample suggested course sequence for this program; course offerings and availability are not guaranteed. Students should consult their academic advisor with any questions.
