This program will allow strong students in mathematics to complete a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in 5 years rather than the usual six. A minimum of 140 credits are required for graduation with both the bachelor’s and the master’s degree. In addition to fulfilling the requirements for the Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, these 140 credits include 30 graduate credits required for the Master’s of Science in Mathematical Sciences. A maximum of ten (10) graduate mathematics credits can be concurrently used toward the bachelor’s and master’s degrees. All doubled counted courses must be at the 5000 level or higher. The combined BS/MS program has been designed to be a continuous program. However, upon completion of all the requirements of the undergraduate program, students will receive their BS degrees.
