Degree Programs
The Mathematics Department offers graduate degree programs
leading to the
• Master of Arts
• Master of Science
• Doctor of Philosophy
Prerequisites and requirements for these degrees are described
below:
Master of Arts in Mathematics
A. Prerequisite:
1. A minimum of nine credits in mathematics courses numbered
200 and above is required.
B. Requirements:
1. A total of 30 credits must be earned; at least 18
credits of which are in mathematical courses numbered
500 or above. These courses must include at least one
of the following year-long sequences: 513-514, 515-516,
524-525, 531-532, 533-534, and 561-562. All courses from
other departments must be numbered 600 or above, be pertinent
to the teaching of secondary school mathematics, and be
approved by the graduate committee.
2. A three-hour written examination covering the material
in one of the year-long sequences listed above.
Master of Science in Mathematics
A. Prerequisite:
1. A minimum of 15 credits in mathematics courses numbered
200 and above is required.
B. Requirements:
1. A total of 30, 33, or 36 credits in approved courses
must be earned, depending on whether at least 15, 12-14,
or 9-11 credits, respectively, are in mathematics courses
numbered 600 and above.
2. A minimum of 24 credits must be earned in mathematics
courses.
3. At least two of the basic sequences 531-532, 533-534,
and 561-562 are required.
4. Three written exams, at least two of which are on
the basic sequences of the above list, must be passed.
Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics
The following requirements are in addition to the general
requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree as described
by the Graduate School (see section on Doctor of Philosophy
elsewhere in this Bulletin).
- A minimum of 36 credits must be earned in mathematics
courses numbered 600 and above.
- All four basic sequences 630-631, 632-633, 640-641, and
661-662 or their equivalents are required.
- Preliminary and three written qualifying exams must be
passed. Of these written exams, two must be from the above
basic sequences; the other may be another from the basic
sequences or in the candidate’s area of specialty.
- A proficiency in one of the languages French, German,
or Russian must be demonstrated.
Master of Science in Statistics
The university offers an interdepartmental M.S. degree in
statistics. The program is a cooperative effort between the
Department of Mathematics and the Department of Management
Science. For details, see the section of this Bulletin entitled
Interdisciplinary and Interdepartmental Programs.
