Degree Program Requirements
The degree program consists of 45 credits, distributed among the areas listed below.
Unless otherwise noted, each course is three credits. All degree requirements must
be completed within five (5) years from the semester date of admission as a matriculated
student.
MATHEMATICS CONTENT COURSES - 15 credits
Course selection will be determined by the student and advisor. Students who have
academic deficiencies in Mathematics will be required to include courses that specifically
address these deficiencies. These courses will be part of the 15 credits selected
to satisfy this requirement. If additional deficiencies exist, those credits required
to meet these mandates will be over and above those requirements for the degree.
