Combined
B.S./M.S. Degrees
The combined B.S./M.S. Degree in Applied
Mathematics and the combined B.S./M.S. Degree in Applied Statistics allow
students to earn both a B.S. in Mathematics and either an M.S. in Applied
Mathematics or an M.S. in Applied Statistics. The program in Applied Mathematics
is designed for undergraduate mathematics students in one of the following
concentrations: Quantitative Analysis and Operations Research, Statistics,
or Actuarial Science. The program in Applied Statistics is intended for
undergraduate students who seek a more specialized focus on statistical
applications. It is expected that students will complete the Common Core
in Mathematics by the end of the sophomore year, will begin taking graduate-level
courses during the senior year, and will complete the requirements for
the Master of Science in Applied Mathematics or the Master of Science
in Applied Statistics approximately one year after satisfying the requirements
for the B.S. degree. To be admitted to this program, students
must apply to either the chair of the department or to one of the program
directors no later than the beginning of the junior year. Careful
planning of course sequencing in these programs is essential. A maximum
of 12 undergraduate quarter hours with grade of B or better may be counted
toward the M.S. degree.
