Master of Science

The Master of Science Degree in the Department of Mathematical Sciences is designed to be completed in two years. Therefore, financial aid for students in the MS program will be for a maximum of two years. See below for a brief summary of specific requirements for mathematics and for statistics. See Course Descriptions for information on the content of required courses.

Mathematics Master's Degree in Mathematics:

•	Financial aid is for a maximum of TWO years.
•	45 credits from mathematics courses. The courses Design and Analysis of Algorithms (2 qtrs) and Automata and Formal Languages (1 qtr) from Computer Science are allowed.  A Master's thesis is worth 6 credits. GPA must be 3.0 or higher.
•	TWO 3-quarter graduate level sequences with one of them at the 600-level. Numerical Analysis (514-516) counts as a 600-level class.  Linear Models (613-615) cannot be used here. GPA over the six courses must be 3.0 or higher.
•	Successful completion of an oral exam.  Familiarity with Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra. Passing a PhD pre-lim or defending a Master's thesis can meet requirements, with approval.

A specialized track in Financial Mathematics is also available.

Consult the Graduate Student Handbook for further details of the program.
