The MCS Department is pleased to announce a new program which will allow students to earn both a
Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree simultaneously.
|
| Features of the Combined Program: |
- Students will be able to complete a Non-Thesis or Thesis 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 10 graduate courses (30 credit hours)
for Non-Thesis option, and 6 graduate courses (18 credit hours) and a thesis
(12 credit hours) for Thesis option, 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/admiss/grad/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:
- MACS 315: Differential Equations
- MACS 323: Probability & Statistics for Engineers I
- MACS 332: Linear Algebra
- MACS 333: Mathematical Modeling
- MACS 358: Discrete Mathematics
- MACS 401: Real Analysis
- MACS 407: Introduction to Scientific Computing
- MACS 433: Mathematical Biology
- MACS 434: Introduction to Probability
- MACS 435: Mathematical Statistics
- MACS 438: Stochastic Models
- MACS 454: Complex Analysis
- MACS 455: Partial Differential Equations
Please note that MACS 370 - Field Session is not considered to be an MA
class. In addition to these courses, there may be other courses not in
the catalog that are offered by the MCS department that would be considered
to be MA courses. If you are not certain about the status of a class, contact
Dr. Ganesh.
- Students applying for this program must have an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher,
and a GPA of 3.3 or higher in their MA courses.
|
| Application Procedure: |
- Complete the Online Application available at
http://www.mines.edu/admiss/grad/onlineapp.html.
- Indicate whether you are applying for a Non-Thesis or Thesis M.S. in
Mathematical & Computer Sciences.
- Students are not required to take the GRE, or
arrange for transcripts or letters of recommendation, even though these
may be requested in the application form. For an online application from
CSM undergraduates, the application fee is only $25. There is also no
particular need to write up a "Statement of Goals" in the application
except to briefly indicate that you are already a MA major at CSM
and that you are applying to the Combined B.S./M.S. program in MA. This
will ensure that your application will be correctly processed.
