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