Accelerated Degree Pathway: BS to MS
Students who are accepted to the undergraduate degree in Mathematics - Applied Mathematics program may take up to a maximum of twelve (12) hours of approved 5000-level courses during their senior year of the bachelor’s degree. These courses will count toward both the B.S. Applied Mathematics- Mathematics and M.S. Applied Mathematical Science- Statistics degrees. Any 5000-level course in MATH or STAT with an undergraduate counterpart may be counted with the approval of the Graduate Advisor and Department Chairperson. During the last semester of their junior year or within their senior year, an undergraduate student with a 3.0 overall GPA may apply for admission to the Accelerated Degree Program.
