The Master of Science program in Mathematics provides thesis and non-thesis options. Students choosing either option must take 15 credits in mathematics at the 6600 level, including two full-year sequences. Of the remaining 15 graduate credits required for the degree, at least 9 must be in mathematics. The entire program of study must be approved by the departmental graduate committee.

Students must pass a written examination on one of the 6600-level sequences in their programs of study. Those who choose the thesis option must also complete and defend an expository or research thesis, for which they will receive 6 credits. Those who choose the non-thesis option must pass a final oral examination over all courses in their program of study.?
