Student Learning Outcomes - The graduate with a Master of Science degree in Mathematics will use the knowledge and skills obtained in the program to:

  • Communicate mathematical ideas clearly and coherently.
  • Interpret mathematical problems and formulate solutions.
  • Construct clear and concise mathematical proofs and other logical arguments.

This program is designed to meet the needs of students who:

  • are preparing for a Ph.D. program in mathematics or related area,
  • plan to teach dual credit or community college mathematics courses, or
  • wish to advance their career in business, industry or government in areas that require an advanced understanding of mathematics.

To be accepted into this program, a student must have an undergraduate degree in mathematics, or course work equivalent to a Central major in mathematics, with a minimum grade point average of 3.00 in upper level mathematics courses.  A student not meeting these minimum standards may consult the School of Computer Science and Mathematics for possible acceptance on a conditional basis.

Before completion of the program, a student must either pass a comprehensive exam or write and successfully defend a thesis.

 

Minimum Graduate Hour Total: 30 Semester Hours


Note: MATH 6950  may only be used as a program elective for students completing a Thesis.  Students who complete this course and do not complete a Thesis will be required to complete the additional required credit hours to meet the minimum hours requirements.

Accelerated Program Notes:
