Computational and Applied Mathematics Specialization
Required Courses (6 hours): MATH 462 and MATH 464
Electives (18 to 21 hours): Electives may be selected from 400- and 500-level MATH, STAT, or OR courses. Maximum of six hours from STAT or OR courses. MATH 550 and 567, STAT 575, and OR 587ab are recommended.
Thesis or research paper (3 to 6 hours): MATH 599 (Thesis), or MATH 595 (Special Project). Students in the computational and applied mathematics specialization may substitute additional 500-level course work for the thesis or research paper to complete the 30-hour requirement for the degree. Students who select this course option must pass a comprehensive exam covering three 500-level MATH, STAT, or OR courses chosen jointly by the student and advisor.
The 400-level required courses are waived for students who have completed these courses as undergraduates, although graduate credit cannot be given for courses taken as an undergraduate.
