Admission Requirements

Academic Requirements

You need the following GPA score:

Required score: 3

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).

For regular admission to the M.S. a student should have completed at least eighteen (18) credits of mathematics or statistics beyond calculus. For mathematics majors, this should include a year of advanced calculus. For statistics majors, it should include theory courses in probability and mathematical statistics and applied courses in statistical methods and data analysis. Admission to the mathematics education program is determined on an individual basis. Successful applicants are accepted into both the Department and The Graduate School. Admission for M.S. in Mathematics - Mathematics Education Option (MSMME)Preference will be given to applicants who have:
  • Earned BS or BA degree from a mathematics or mathematics teaching program
  • Certification in at least one state to teach secondary mathematics
  • A current position in high school teaching
  • Two or more years of teaching experience
  • An undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher
  • Consideration will be given to other applicants as space allows:
    • High school teachers with a significant mathematics background but not holding secondary mathematics certification (e.g., private school teachers)
    • Certified secondary mathematics teachers not currently teaching but who intend to teach secondary mathematics in the near future
    • Middle school teachers who hold secondary mathematics certification
    Special Notes:
    • GRE scores are NOT required for admission to the MSMME program.
    • The MSMME Program is approved under the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP), which allows teachers from Western states to pay in-state resident tuition. The participating states are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming

    English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
