Program Overview
The AGP in Mathematics allows academically advanced undergraduate students enrolled in the Mathematics Major (B.S.) , Mathematics—Applied Major (B.S.) , Mathematics—Actuarial Science Major (B.S.) , or the Mathematics—Mathematical Statistics Major (B.S.) to take graduate-level coursework toward completion of the requirements for a Master of Science in Mathematics while completing their undergraduate degree requirements. Students in the AGP may apply up to 9 credit hours of graduate-level coursework toward the bachelor’s degree and up to 16 credit hours toward the master’s degree, while still an undergraduate.
Admissions Information
Students will be eligible to apply for the AGP in Mathematics when they have earned 60 credit hours.
The AGP in Mathematics is a competitive program for highly qualified individuals. Applicants must have at least a 3.2 cumulative GPA or a 3.0 cumulative GPA with a 3.5 or higher GPA in the most recent 30 credit hours. Applicants must also have completed MATH 3200 or MATH 3210 , MATH 3300 , and MATH 3400 or MATH 3500 . Applicants must obtain a letter of recommendation from a faculty member who is willing to serve as their graduate advisor, contingent on the student’s continued good standing in both the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs.
Opportunities Upon Graduation
Graduates from our programs work in a variety of settings in Business, Industry, Defense and Academics where problem solving and quantitative skills are valued. Some of our Master’s graduates enter Ph.D. programs in STEM and professional fields.
Requirements
AGP in Mathematics students may earn up to 16 graduate hours prior to conferral of the bachelor’s degree. AGP students may count up to 9 graduate hours in place of undergraduate hours toward bachelor’s degree requirements.
Any 5000-level or 6000-level MATH courses can be taken before the conferral of the bachelor’s, with the following exceptions. The following courses cannot be take before the conferral of the undergraduate degree:
- MATH 6940 - Project in Computational Mathematics
- MATH 6942 - Project in Mathematics Education Research
- MATH 6950 - Thesis
The following 5000-level courses are dual listed with 3000-level courses. These 5000-level courses cannot be taken for graduate credit. Students should take the undergraduate equivalent 3000-level course before conferral of the undergraduate degree:
- MATH 5000 - History of Mathematics (the undergraduate equivalent MATH 3000 should be taken instead)
- MATH 5070 - Introduction to Number Theory (the undergraduate equivalent MATH 3070 should be taken instead)
- MATH 5110 - College Geometry (the undergraduate equivalent MATH 3110 should be taken instead)
- MATH 5200 - Applied Linear Algebra (the undergraduate equivalent MATH 3200 should be taken instead)
- MATH 5210 - Linear Algebra (the undergraduate equivalent MATH 3210 should be taken instead)
The following dual-listed 4000-level/5000-level courses cannot be taken for graduate credit. Students can take the undergraduate equivalent 4000- level course:
- MATH 5100 - Mathematics Teaching in Secondary School (the undergraduate equivalent MATH 4100 can be taken for undergraduate credit. MATH 4100 does not count towards the Mathematics Elective requirement in BS3101 or BS3103)
- MATH 5100L - Mathematics Teaching in Secondary School Field Experience (the undergraduate equivalent MATH 4100L can be taken for undergraduate credit. MATH 4100L does not count towards the Mathematics Elective requirement in BS3101 or BS3103)
The following 5000-level is taken by graduate students in their first (Fall) semester as a Teaching Assistant. It should be taken after the conferral of the undergraduate degree.
- MATH 5120 - College Mathematics Teaching for New Teaching Assistants
Any dual-listed 4000-level course in MATH may be replaced by its dual-listed 5000-level course, with the exception of MATH 5100 and MATH 5100L. Explicitly, the AGP will allow the following graduate courses to be applied to the undergraduate degree:
- MATH 5221 - Modern Algebra I, replaces MATH 4221
- MATH 5222 - Modern Algebra II, replaces MATH 4222
- MATH 5230 - Introduction to Algebraic Coding Theory, replaces MATH 4230

- MATH 5302 - Advanced Calculus II, replaces MATH 4302
- MATH 5310 - Complex Variables, replaces MATH 4310
- MATH 5320 - Vector Analysis, replaces MATH 4320
- MATH 5330 - Hilbert Spaces and Applications, replaces MATH 4330
- MATH 5400 - Advanced Differential Equations, replaces MATH 4400
- MATH 5410 - Fourier Analysis and Partial Differential Equations, replaces MATH 4410
- MATH 5470 - Applied Dynamical Systems, replaces MATH 4470
- MATH 5501 - Mathematical Statistics I, replaces MATH 4501
- MATH 5502 - Mathematical Statistics II, replaces MATH 4502
- MATH 5520 - Stochastic Processes, replaces MATH 4520
- MATH 5530 - Statistical Computing, replaces MATH 4530
- MATH 5550 - Basic Principles of Actuarial Science, replaces MATH 4550
- MATH 5560 - Life Contingencies, replaces MATH 4560
- MATH 5600 - Introduction to Numerical Analysis, replaces MATH 4600
- MATH 5610 - Introduction to Waves and Wavelets with Applications, replaces MATH 4610
- MATH 5620 - Linear and Nonlinear Optimization, replaces MATH 4620
- MATH 5630 - Discrete Modeling and Optimization, replaces MATH 4630
- MATH 5700 - Introduction to Topology, replaces MATH 4700.
