Mathematics majors can earn graduate credit during their senior year and earn a Master degree in mathematical sciences within one calendar year (and in some cases within two academic semesters) after receiving their B.S. The combined degree is designed to integrate undergraduate and graduate-level research and to give the selected students an outstanding preparation for entering a Ph.D. program in mathematics or related fields.

Applications for admission to the program should be made by the beginning of the third (junior) year of study. Interested students should contact the mathematics department and an academic advisor will help them devise a study plan. Students in the combined B.S./M.S. should complete all the undergraduate requirements by the end of the fourth year, including 3 credits of senior thesis in a pure or applied mathematics, or statistics topics. Additional information is available in the math department, and at the departmental website.
