This track will consist of 12 one-semester three credit graduate courses. For a brief overview, please view our 2023 program flyer. For a more detailed overview, please view our 2023 program brochure.

The degree can be completed in 12 months. All courses are open for registration online through PantherSoft.

Admission Requirements

Admission requires a Bachelor’s in Mathematics or related fields. In addition, applicants must satisfy conditions 3 through 5 in the admission requirements for our Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences, and have a GPA of at least 3.0 in undergraduate studies. Admission to the program requires applicants to have a firm grasp of mathematics at a high undergraduate level. This means calculus through multivariable calculus, linear algebra and differential equations. Knowledge in probability, statistics, computer programming, economics, or finance is recommended but not required. A student with promise but lacking prerequisites may be admitted but required to take one or more preparatory courses during their first semester.
