DEPARTMENT OF

M.A./M.S. MATHEMATICS

Admission Requirements

1. Admission to the Graduate Division.

2. International students must have achieved a score of at least 550 on the TOEFL exam (NO TOEFL waiver).

3. Completion of at least 18 semester units of upper division mathematics for the M.A.(at least 24 for the M.S.) with a grade point average of at least a 3.0. The courses taken must be acceptable toward a bachelor's degree in mathematics.

4. Letters of recommendation (1-3), sent directly to the Mathematics Graduate coordinator at the address below.

IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS Students who meet the minimum requirements for admission to the Graduate Division but do not meet the requirements for admission to the master's degree program may be admitted as Conditionally Classified students.

3. Fifteen additional units of electives for M.A. students and Graduation Requirements: M.A./M.S. Mathematics (nine for M.S. students). These must be in 100- or 200- level mathematics courses, with certain exceptions allowed as 1. Students must pass two qualifying examinations on funda- described in the general catalog.
