Combined Degree of B.A./M.A. in Mathematics

By applying the same courses simultaneously toward the requirements for the BA and MA degrees, an advanced student can qualify for both degrees within the four-year period of undergraduate education. Applicants to the program should complete the standard graduate application during their junior year and no later than April 30 of that year. With the application, the applicant must supply an official copy of the current transcript and a statement of purpose. The GRE exams are not required, and the graduate application fee is waived. In addition, the applicant must have one member of the faculty of the Department of Mathematics submit a letter of recommendation. All interested students must contact the academic program coordinator prior to applying. Admission to the program is based on excellence in upper-division mathematics courses. All BA and MA requirements must be completed within the traditional four-year time frame. Graduate student financial support is not available for BA/MA candidates.
