Return to: Programs A-Z
The Master of Mathematics degree is designed primarily for students who seek a broad, thorough training in mathematics which includes course work specifically designed to meet the needs of secondary-school teachers.
Degree Requirements
The M.M. degree requires 30 approved semester hours of graduate course work, up to 6 hours of which may be outside the departments of mathematics, computer science, and statistics. |
A core of four courses is required of all students:
Additional Information:
In addition, students must include in their program (if similar courses have not been taken previously) a course in geometry (chosen from MATH 531 , 532 , or 736I ) and a course in linear algebra (MATH 526 or 544 ). To ensure breadth in the program of study, the remaining course work should include courses in probability and statistics and computer science.
Each candidate for the M.M. degree is required to pass a written comprehensive examination, which is based primarily on the four core courses. The examination will consist of two, two-to-three hour written examinations that will be offered by the department three times each year, in May, August, and December. Students should take the comprehensive examination immediately upon completion of the core courses. Foreign language proficiency is not required. |
