Applied and Computational Mathematics 4+1 Option
The Accelerated Masters Studies Option (4+1 Option) in Mathematics and Applied and Computational Mathematics (MATH-ACM) is designed to allow motivated students to earn both a B.S. or B.A. in Mathematics and an M.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics with one additional year of coursework. This is achieved by a double-counting allowance of up to 15 credits or five graduate level (500-level or above) courses. One additional year of graduate work (15 credits) would be needed to complete the Master's program enabling students to earn two degrees in a total of five years.
Courses and Curriculum
MATH-ACM students may double count 15 credits (5 courses) of 500 level courses toward both the B.S./A.B. in Mathematics and M.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics degrees. The courses double counted must be elected at the 500 level and include:
- Math 551 (Advanced Calculus), Math 562 (Math Modeling), and either Math 572 (Numerical Analysis) or Math 573 (Matrix Computations). This satisfies part of both the Analysis/Algebra option and the Applied Courses for the B.S. and all of the Core requirements for the M.S. degree.
- And either Option I, II or III:
Two additional electives that satisfy both the B.S. degree electives and the Modeling Specialization requirements of the M.S. degree. Choices include: Math 504, Math 520, Math 525, Math 554, Math 558, Math 523, Math 514, Math 516.
Two courses that satisfy the cognate option for the B.S. degree. Choices include: Stat 530, Stat 535, Stat 545, Stat 560, or select courses at the graduate level from CIS, ECE, ECON, IMSE, ME, PHYS and others.
One course from Option I and one course from the Option II.
A student may not receive credit for both a 400 and 500 level equivalent courses (for example, both Math 455 and Math 555).
4+1 Admission and Requirements
In order to be eligible for this program, a student must:
- Be a declared mathematics major with at least 60 completed credit hours
- Have completed the prerequisite courses for the math major: CIS/CCM 150 (or CIS 1501 or CCM 172), Math 228, Math 227, and Math 300 with grades of B+ or better in Math 227 and 228.
- Have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2
