BS+MS - Emphasis in Computational and Applied Mathematics

The AMS Department is pleased to offer students the opportunity to begin working toward a Master of Science (MS) degree prior to completing the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree.

Features of the Combined Program:

• Students will be able to complete a Thesis based M.S. in at least one additional year to the B.S. Normally a Master's Degree takes two years to complete, but with the Combined Program, students can use 6 credit hours towards both degrees. This translates to 6 graduate courses (18 credit hours) and a thesis (12 credit hours), which the student takes in addition to the normal undergraduate B.S. requirements.
• Students will not have to take the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) for admission to the program.
• The application fee is only $25 for CSM Undergraduates who complete an online application, available at http://www.mines.edu/gradschoolapp/onlineapp.html.

Admission Criteria:

• Students may not apply for the combined program until they have taken five or more Mathematics classes at CSM (classes transferred from other universities will not be considered). The following courses are considered to be Mathematics (MA) classes:
• MATH-225: Differential Equations
• MATH-235: Differential Equations (Honors)
• MATH-300: Foundations of Mathematics
• MATH-332: Linear Algebra
• MATH-334: Introduction to Probability
• MATH-335: Mathematical Statistics
• MATH-342: Linear Algebra (Honors)
• MATH-358: Discrete Mathematics
• MATH-401: Introduction to Analysis
• MATH-407: Introduction to Scientific Computing
• MATH-433: Mathematical Biology
• MATH-438: Stochastic Models
• MATH-454: Complex Analysis
• MATH-455: Partial Differential Equations
• MATH-458: Abstract Algebra
• MATH-484: Math & Comp Modeling

Other courses may count, check with your graduate advisor.

Application Procedure:

• Complete the Online Application available at http://www.mines.edu/gradschoolapp/onlineapp.html.
• For on-line applications from CSM undergraduates, the application fee is only $25.
  
• Indicate that you are applying for a Thesis M.S. in Mathematical & Computer Sciences, Applied Mathematics option.
• Students are not required to take the GRE or submit letters of recommendation.
• Students must arrange for transcripts.
• Students are not required to write a unique "Statement of Goals" for the application. To ensure that your application will be correctly processed, the Statement of Goals should be: "I am currently a MATH major at CSM. I would like to apply for the Combined B.S./M.S. program."
