There are two alternative routes to a B.A. or B.S. honors degree. If, in addition, the student passes an approved sequence of three graduate courses with no grade below B- , he or she is eligible to receive a B.A. or B.S. honors degree. This is ordinarily done in consultation with an individual faculty member and must be approved by the director and associate director of undergraduate studies. Students interested in the honors degree should consult with the departmental counselor no later than their third year. Qualified College students may receive both a bachelor's and a master's degree in mathematics concurrently at the end of their years in the College.
Qualification consists of satisfying all the requirements of each degree in mathematics.
Interested students should apply to the departmental counselor as soon as possible and in any event no later than the winter quarter of the third year. Admission to the joint programs is conditioned on a positive recommendation to the Department of Education from the Coordinating Committee for Mathematics. Interested students should consult with the departmental counselor no later than the autumn quarter of their third year.
