Curricula

The College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences offers programs in several areas of the mathematical sciences and their applications. The following section outlines the curricula for the Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences with majors in mathematics and statistics. 

Accelerated Master’s Pathways

A master’s degree in Mathematical Sciences, Statistics or Biostatistics can be earned in a shortened period of time by careful planning during the junior and senior years. The B.S. and M.S. may be earned in five years, as six credits of undergraduate coursework may be counted concurrently toward the M.S. degree requirements.

Students must declare their wish to enter the Accelerated Master’s Pathway (AMP) in Mathematical Sciences in writing to the chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics before the end of their sophomore year, and before they have taken MATH 3468. Students must apply to the Graduate College for admission, noting their interest in the Accelerated Master’s Pathway. Once admitted, AMP students receive concurrent undergraduate and graduate credit for one or two courses. Please refer to the Handbook for Graduate Studies in Mathematics for detailed information.

Students should discuss the possibility of an Accelerated Master’s Pathway in statistics or in biostatistics with the director of the Statistics program as soon as they think they may be interested in this program.
