Graduate Programs

Applied and Industrial Mathematics Master's Program (M.S.)

Degree Requirements

There are two tracks to choose from. A student may transfer up to two graduate-level mathematics courses taken at another institution, provided that the transfer is consistent with the Graduate School policy. Students are required to submit a written technical report and give an oral presentation based on their internship (Math 791-792), or applied graduate project (MATH 881, MATH 882) to the Graduate Program Committee. Satisfactory completion of the technical report and the oral presentation, as judged by the Graduate Program Committee, is a requirement for graduation.

The student is required to successfully complete at least 10 courses (a minimum of 30 units) as indicated below.

1. at least four 600 level courses from a declared track
2. at least two 600 level courses from the other track*
3. at most two 500-level courses from List A will count toward the degree
4. MATH 791-792 or MATH 881-882

*NOTE: At most one of the courses in the degree requirement number 2 above can be replaced with MATH 651 (Mathematics of Fuzzy Logic) or MATH 671 (Chaotic Dynamics and Fractal Geometry)
