Completion requirement

Two year-long Mathematics course sequences that are not co-convened and are not part of the required core of algebra, real analysis, and geometry-topology. These two sequences must be in two of the three general areas: algebra and number theory, analysis and geometry, mathematical physics and applied mathematics. 

 The 30 units must also include 6 units in courses from departments other than Mathematics. As with the PhD degree, the requirement of 6 units from outside the Mathematics Department may also be satisfied with an internship. See the Priori Acceptable list for approved courses. Students may take a course outside of this list with the advanace approval of the DGS.

MS students must complete professional development requirements chosen from this list for each year after the first year or for at least one year, whichever is greater.:

  • Professional Development

  • Community Development

  • Broader Impact

  • Equity

All students in the Mathematics MS program are required to have a Graduate Faculty Advisor (also called Major Professor)
