Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
Admission Requirements
- The admission criteria include but are not limited to the following requirements. Any decision regarding admission is made by the Graduate Committee on an individual basis, after taking into consideration the application material and supporting documents.
- Bachelor degree in mathematics (or a Bachelor degree in some other field, with extensive course work in mathematics), including a course in analysis comparable to the UCCS course Math 4310
- A minimum grade point average of 3.0. Under special circumstances students may be admitted with a lower grade point average (or without a course in analysis) as provisional degree students.
Degree Requirements
- A 3.0 grade point average in course work applied towards the degree.
- All degree courses must be part of an approved plan of study, developed by the student and approved by the advisor (Chair of the Graduate Committee) within the first semester after being admitted to the program. This plan may be revised at any time with the approval of the advisor. The plan will require students to demonstrate some cohesiveness in the courses chosen, or to demonstrate a clear subject area of concentration.
- Courses will have graduate rank only if members of the graduate school faculty teach them and are at the 5000 level or above.
- At least 30 semester hours of approved graduate work, including Linear Algebra (Math 5130) and Modern Analysis II (Math 5320). All students must pass the comprehensive examination in Modern Analysis. Students completing one of the four tracks of study will automatically fulfill the requirements for the MS Applied Math degree.
- All students must successfully complete one of the following: Math 5480, Math 5650, Math 5670, or Math 3670/5900 to fulfill the computational competency requirement. Please note that knowledge of a computer language such as MATLAB is necessary to complete this requirement. This requirement may be waived at the discretion of the Graduate Committee Chair upon providing evidence of previous computing experience.
- A student may complete up to 12 hours of appropriate graduate course work in departments other than the Department of Mathematics, as part of the \xc2\x93tracks\xc2\x94 program. Such courses MUST be PRE-approved by the advisor.
- Students may select a thesis or non thesis option. Students in the thesis option will replace up to 6 hours of courses with a Master\xc2\x92s thesis.
- All students make an oral presentation regarding some aspect of advanced mathematics. For students pursuing the thesis option, the thesis defense will qualify as such a presentation.
