► Graduate School Policies and Procedures apply to this program.
Program Requirements
Students must present 30 hours of course work for the MS degree. Students must earn a minimum grade of B- (2.7) in all major courses taken at CU Denver and must achieve a minimum cumulative major GPA of 3.0. All graded attempts in required and elective courses are calculated in the major GPA. At least 24 of these hours must consist of graduate-level (numbered 5000 or higher) mathematics courses. The remaining 6 hours must be either mathematics courses numbered 5000 or above or approved courses outside the department numbered 4000 or above.
Up to 9 semester hours of prior course work may be transferred in (subject to approval); these must be at the 5000 level or above with a B- or better grade. Courses already applied toward another degree (graduate or undergraduate) cannot be used toward the MS degree in applied mathematics. Additionally, the following MATH courses will NOT count toward a graduate degree: MATH 5000-5009, 5010, 5012-5015, 5017, 5198, 5250, and 5830.
A student may devote from 4 to 6 hours (of the 30 required hours) to the writing of a thesis. Following completion of course work, all candidates must make a one-hour oral presentation of a project or a thesis before a committee consisting of three graduate faculty members.
