Mathematics, MSc

The Master of Sciences (MSc) with Mathematics Emphasis Program is a cross-disciplinary program leading to the Master of Sciences degree. It provides an opportunity to extend and broaden training in the natural sciences, computer science, and mathematics. The program consists of two tracks: General, and Scientific Computing and Data Science (SCDS). The General Track is intended to be flexible and allows for some of the coursework to be completed in any secondary department. The SCDS Track is comprised of computational mathematics and computer science classes, and is intended for students interested in careers in industry. For more information on this graduate program, please contact the department's Graduate Chair. All courses credited toward the degree after admission must be taken at the University of Colorado, at the Colorado Springs, Denver, Health Sciences, or Boulder campuses, over a maximum of five years or six successive summers.

• Must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited university.
• Must have completed at least 40 semester hours in the natural sciences and mathematics, including one year of calculus. Students may be admitted to the program with a deficiency in mathematics, but must remedy the deficiency within one year after admission, with a grade of B or better.
• SCDS only: have introductory computational experience including UCCS course equivalents of MATH 2650 and CS 1450.
• Must have a GPA of 3.00 or higher, on a 4.00 scale. A student with an undergraduate grade point average below 3.00 may be considered for admission, subject to approval by the Graduate Committee.
• Must submit GRE General Test scores, from the most recent test, taken within the last 2 years. A percentile of 80 or higher is recommended on the Quantitative Reasoning portion.
• International applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency and submit additional documentation, as specified on the Applications page.
