Graduate work will be offered in algebra, complex and real variables, differential equations, functional analysis, geometry, mathematical education, numerical analysis, operations research, probability, statistics and topology. The Department of Mathematics offers master's degree programs in mathematics with additional emphasis in applied mathematics, computer science, mathematical education, pure mathematics, and statistics.
All students are to use either the thesis or the thesis-substitute plan.
Those students enrolled in the thesis plan must take at least six hours of MATH 5398-5698, and all except those in the computer science track must take at least three other hours of electives. Students in every degree plan must pass a final master's exam. To receive credit for an R-graded course, the student must continue to enroll in the course until a passing grade is received. A grade of X cannot be changed by enrolling again in the course in which an X was earned. Students should consult the appropriate Graduate Advisor or instructor for valid grade information for particular courses.
