Mathematics and Physics
Admission to the MS degree program requires a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution with a major in mathematics, mathematics with secondary certification, or related field in science. The student’s entire record will be considered including the completed application for admission, overall undergraduate GPA, upper level GPA, GPA in the discipline, a Statement of Purpose, and two sealed letters of reference attesting to qualifications of applicant.
- Satisfaction of all other requirements of Texas A&M International University for graduate admission
- Students must submit transcripts from all institutions attended and two sealed letters of reference (at least one of which from faculty outside the departmental graduate admission committee) to the Graduate School (OGSR) for acceptance into the MS degree program.
- Students will not be fully admitted to the graduate program of the University until all of the above entrance requirements are met. If an applicant does not meet these minimum requirements, OGSR may approve admission of the applicant on a conditional basis using the graduate admission formula.
Stemwork
It is strongly recommended that a student seeking a MS degree in Mathematics should have a bachelor’s degree with a major in Mathematics or related field. However, if a student is seeking a MS degree in Mathematics without a Bachelors in Mathematics, then the following are the minimum requirements as preparation for the graduate coursework:
Code | Title | Semester Credit Hours |
---|---|---|
MATH 1316 | Plane Trigonometry | 3 |
or MATH 2412 | Pre-Calculus | |
MATH 2413 | Calculus I | 4 |
MATH 2414 | Calculus II | 4 |
MATH 2415 | Calculus III | 4 |
MATH 3310 | Introduction to Linear Algebra | 3 |
MATH 3320 | Modern Geometry | 3 |
or MATH 3325 | Geometry | |
MATH 3360 | Statistical Analysis | 3 |
MATH 3365 | Discrete Mathematics | 3 |
MATH 4310 | Abstract Algebra I | 3 |
MATH 4335 | Advanced Calculus | 3 |
The student’s advisor and/or committee may require additional courses if thought necessary to prepare the student for a specific field in mathematics.
