Masters of Science in Mathematics

Masters of Science in Mathematics - Basic Preparation

The graduate plan in Mathematical Science leads to the master of science (MS) degree. Applicants for candidacy should have a bachelor's degree in mathematics. Students with other degrees may apply if their preparation includes a substantial number of advanced credits in mathematics. In some cases, additional preparatory courses may be required.

Undergraduate Foundation Courses for Masters in Mathematics

  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Abstract Algebra
  • Advanced Calculus
  • Real Analysis

Introduction to Probability (may be waived with adviser's consent if undergraduate real analysis is successfully completed before enrollment in STAT 5431 Theory and Application of Probability.

With adviser's approval, two of the following may count towards the Master's Degree if taken as a graduate student at UHCL: MATH 4431 (Introduction to Analysis) and MATH 4232 (Introductory Abstract Algebra) or MATH 4133 (Introduction to Topology). [Provided that equivalent courses have not been completed previously.

Course selections will be arranged in consultation with a faculty adviser while preparing the CPS. Students selecting the extended course work option must complete MATH 6837 (Research Project 1). This is to be taken after successfully completing nine hours of core and during the last 9 hours of course work. MATH 6838 (Research Project II) can be completed following MATH 6837 with faculty adviser approval prior to registration.

Admission

Applicants interested in the M.S. program in MATH should fill in the application form to the University with the major code (e.g. MATHSCIMS). Any general questions about the MATH program can be directed to one of the MATH faculty members. Applicants interested in knowing the status of their applications may contact Barbara Coleman (281-283-3713) or Dorothy Hogg (281-283-3712), the academic advisors of SCE in Room 3611 of the Bayou Building. Students applying for admission to graduate programs in the department of mathematical sciences are required to take GRE (general test). To speed up your application processing, be sure that you have supplied all necessary documents to the admission office of the University.
