Mathematics

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Applications are reviewed by the Graduate Admission Committee.

Applicants should have completed a Calculus sequence, Linear Algebra, and an introduction to proof-writing course at the undergraduate level. Applicants who have not completed this coursework should contact the Program Director, Dr. Mark Demers, to discuss an individualized plan of study.

The GREs are not required. We do look closely at your academic record and other application materials. Generally, we like to see that you have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA. If your GPA is lower than 3.0 but you would like us to consider your application, you may include with your application a statement that explains your GPA and why you are confident you will be able to maintain the required 3.0 GPA in your graduate studies.

Our programs are designed to accommodate students who want to attend part-time because most of our students are working at least part-time. Some of our students attend full-time, however.

Courses are offered during 4 semesters per year: fall, spring, summer 1, and summer 2. During the fall and spring semesters, most courses are offered in the evenings from 6:30 – 9 p.m. once a week.

Our classes are small, with 10-15 students per class.

No, but you need a significant number of undergraduate credits in mathematics including at least a year of calculus.

The program can be completed in two academic years.
