Mathematics, Accelerated BS/MS (43-607) (140 hours)


Major, Accelerated Bachelor of Science and Master of Science Degree

NOTE: At the completion of the 140-hour program, and not before, the student will earn both a BS and an MS degree in Mathematics.

A graduate with a combined Bachelor of Science and Masters of Science degree in Mathematics will use the knowledge and skills obtained in the program to:

  • Communicate mathematical ideas clearly and coherently.
  • Apply content knowledge to solve complex problems.
  • Interpret mathematical problems and formulate solutions.
  • Construct clear and concise mathematical proofs and other logical arguments.

UCM students having completed at least 9 hours of mathematics courses above the 1000 level with a major GPA of at least 3.00 may consult with their faculty advisor and complete a school application to declare the accelerated BS/MS major in mathematics. Prior to beginning the graduate portion of the program, students in the accelerated program will need to apply to the UCM Graduate School for formal admission to the Accelerated BS/MS program. Before completion of the program, a student must either pass a comprehensive examination or write and successfully defend a thesis.
