Accelerated Graduate Pathway: Mathematics
The Mathematics Department offers an Accelerated Graduate Pathway (AGP) in Mathematics where students can combine both bachelor's and master's degree studies and earn their degrees more quickly. These programs are competitive programs suitable for qualified and motivated individuals.
How It Works
The Accelerated Graduate Pathway in Mathematics allows academically advanced undergraduate students enrolled in the Mathematics Major (B.S.), Mathematics—Applied Major (B.S.), Mathematics—Actuarial Science Major (B.S.), or the Mathematics—Mathematical Statistics Major (B.S.) to take graduate-level coursework toward completion of the requirements for a Master of Science in Mathematics while completing their undergraduate degree requirements.
Students in the AGP may apply up to 9 credit hours of graduate-level coursework toward the bachelor’s degree and up to 16 credit hours toward the master’s degree, while still an undergraduate.
Start with a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics
-
Applied Mathematics Major
The Applied Mathematics program teaches you how to apply mathematical concepts and systems to practical fields and uses. Various electives in topics like chemistry, biology, and engineering enable you to tailor this degree according to your interests or future career prospects.
-
Mathematical Statistics Major
The Mathematical Statistics program prioritizes statistics courses and analysis techniques. Students understand the foundations and applications of statistics, so it's ideal for pursuing high-paying jobs in the business, government, education, and industrial sectors.
-
Actuarial Science Major
The Actuarial Science program is the go-to mathematics degree choice for future actuaries. Actuarial science majors will be ready to pass their first actuarial exams before they graduate, as well as be practically prepared for jobs in financial services, insurance, transportation, and other industries.
Finish with a Master's Degree
-
Master of Science in Mathematics
Our Mathematics graduate programs are home to students seeking knowledge of advanced mathematics — knowledge for application to other areas or knowledge for its own sake. So many questions remain to be solved in number theory, theoretical computer science, and more.
