Early Entry MS in Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers undergraduate students the opportunity to begin coursework towards the Master of Science during the senior year of their Bachelor of Science program. Students with at least 90 semester hours and an overall GPA of 3.0 (A=4.0) in mathematics, engineering and physical science courses may be admitted to the BS/MS program that allows them to earn graduate-level credit (400- and 500-level) during their senior year. No course can be counted for both graduate and undergraduate credit.
An application for degree-seeking status as a graduate student must be approved by the Graduate School and the Graduate Admissions Committee in Mathematics. A program outline must also be submitted for approval by the graduate program director in mathematics prior to enrollment in any courses to be included as a part of the master's program. Official admission to the graduate program and the status of classified graduate student is made only after the award of baccalaureate degree. In no case will a graduate degree be conferred before all requirements for both degrees have been completed.
Please note: Only current SIUE students are eligible for this program.
