B.S./M.S., Mathematics
Accelerated B.S./M.S. Degrees
The combined B.S./M.S. degree allows dedicated mathematics students to complete two degrees in a compressed time frame (typically, five years instead of six), while still maintaining the rigor and content of both degrees. Students will receive a B.S. in mathematics with a concentration in mathematics and an M.S. in mathematics.
Minimum Requirements for Accelerated Mathematics B.S./M.S. Degrees: 138 credits
