Admission Requirements

In addition to the graduate application and official transcripts applicants must submit three letters of recommendation and a statement of purpose. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

Goals: The program is designed to give students a solid foundation in graduate level mathematics, provide hands-on experience in problem-solving and the uses of technology, and to allow returning mathematics teachers to upgrade their qualifications.

Administration: Upon admission to the program, each student will undergo a review. Deficiencies in any mathematical area will add to the number of credits required for graduation. Core requirements already satisfied will be replaced by approved electives.

Program Requirements: A minimum of 30 graduate credits, after completion of any deficiency courses, are required.
