This program is designed to give students a solid
foundation in graduate level mathematics, to provide
hands-on experience in problem-solving and the uses of
technology, and to allow returning mathematics teachers to
upgrade their qualifications. The program addresses the
State and Regional needs for students with advanced training
in quantitative and analytical analysis, and prepares
students for employment in government agencies, industry,
financial sectors, K-12 education, college teaching, and
advanced studies in doctoral programs.
For full admission, the applicant must have a
baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or
university with an overall grade-point average of 2.75 or
better or 3.00 for the last two years (64 semester credits
or equivalent); or hold an advanced degree from an
accredited college or university in or appropriate to the
intended field; or holds a baccalaureate or master's degree
from a foreign college or university, plus satisfactory
evidence of competence in English. More detailed admission
information can be found in the
Graduate Bulletin.
Upon admission to the program, each student will undergo
a review. Deficiencies in any mathematical area will add to
the number of credits required for graduation. Core
requirements already satisfied will be replaced by approved
electives.
To receive the degree of Master of Science in
Mathematics, the student must:
- pass the courses in his or her chosen option with a
grade point average of no less than 3.0 (with no more than
two grades below B-).
- submit a satisfactory Mathematics Seminar paper or a
Master's Thesis.
The options are listed below along with the courses that
are covered in the initial Placement Review.
