This program is intended to facilitate completion of both a B.S. and M.S. degree in mathematics within at most 5 years of study. To achieve this goal students admitted to this program are permitted to take a substantial number of graduate courses in mathematics as undergraduates, are able to transfer a significant number of those credits towards the M.S. degree, and are required to complete only 36 instead of 48 credits for the graduate degree (non-thesis option). The faculty coordinator will advise potential and participating students and serve as liaison between this program, the Department of Mathematics, and the Graduate School. Students seeking admission to the program should contact the faculty coordinator.

Although it's one of the most ancient disciplines, new math is being created every day. It can be found in everything from internet security, to green energy technology, to Wall Street investment strategies. In short, math is a cutting-edge field. The M.S. in Mathematics program is small enough to allow personal interaction between students and faculty but large enough for flexibility in catering to student interests in pure math, various applied topics, computer science, statistics, and/or mathematical physics. Our graduate program currently has 18 Teaching Assistants receiving full financial support, and 5 self-supporting students. Our graduates have been very successful both in the general job market and in getting teaching positions in the community colleges. A number go on to Ph.D. programs at prestigious institutions.
