While there are no official course requirements for admission to the M.S. program, a level of mathematical sophistication is necessary for acceptable progress. A few highly motivated master s candidates have begun with a year of calculus and taken another semester of calculus and one of linear algebra while in the program. Admission to the Graduate School normally requires an undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher out of 4.0, either for the entire undergraduate career or last two years of undergraduate study or its equivalent. An outstanding final undergraduate year can earn regular graduate status. The Graduate School will consider provisional status for those applicants with a GPA of at least 2.6.
Some financial aid is available commencing in the spring semester.
