The Mathematics, BA or BS/Mathematics, MA accelerated program is initiated while undergraduates are completing a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and is intended for outstanding mathematics undergraduates. For this program, graduate student coursework will begin in the students’ fourth year of undergraduate study and be completed with one academic year of study beyond the bachelor’s degree. Mathematics students may apply to the program after completion of a minimum of 75 eligible undergraduate semester hours and can begin taking graduate courses after completion of a minimum of 90 eligible undergraduate semester hours (120 semester hours are required for the Mathematics, BA or Mathematics, BS). Up to 12 semester hours of graduate courses may be counted towards completion of both the bachelor of arts (BA) or bachelor of science (BS) and the master of arts (MA) degrees. The minimum GPA at the time of admission and entry to the program is 3.5 in mathematics courses and 3.0 overall. Students are formally admitted to the master’s degree after all requirements for the undergraduate degree (BA or BS) are completed.
Students accepted into the accelerated program must earn a grade of B or above in all graduate coursework to continue in the accelerated program.
