Available under Plan B is a comprehensive master's degree in either mathematics or statistics. Also available under Plan B is a master's degree in mathematics with an option in mathematics education. This option is designed primarily for secondary or junior college teachers and may be pursued either during the academic year or during the summer session. The requirements for this degree are flexible and an attempt is made to tailor each program to the individual needs of the student. Such programs are designed to prepare the teacher in all expected subject areas.
Coursework is required in analysis, algebra, statistics, and geometry-topology.
For further information, refer to For Master's Students in the Graduate Catalog. Students are expected to be familiar with both the departmental and the College of Graduate Studies degree requirements. Ph.D. Requirements Students in mathematics are expected to develop competence in real and complex analysis and two areas chosen from applied mathematics, dynamical systems, functional analysis, numerical analysis, partial differential equations, probability, topology or such topics as the student's committee may approve. Doctor of Philosophy programs must include a supporting course area which may be taken within the department. A minor field of study is optional.
