A minimum GPA of 3.00
is required for students to remain in good standing.
The M.S. is offered under Plan A and Plan B. Plan A requires 14 credits in Mathematics, including one sequence of two 8xxx-level courses in the student's concentration area, 6 credits outside the major, and 10 thesis credits.
Plan B allows more breadth; students complete at least 30 credits, half of which may be in a related area outside of Mathematics. Two sequences of year-long 8xxx-level courses, one in the student's concentration area, must be included.
