What you will study
In the 欧美视频鈥檚 accelerated degree completion program in Mathematics,
you鈥檒l start taking graduate-level mathematics classes while you鈥檙e still earning
your bachelor鈥檚. You can then apply those advanced credits toward your master鈥檚 degree
to complete both a BS and MS in five years.
Your undergraduate classes for UCM鈥檚 accelerated Math program will focus on subjects
such as calculus, differential equations, statistics, modern algebra and more. In
your graduate courses, you鈥檒l study these topics in greater depth while also advancing
to classes in topology, combinatorics, statistics and computer science.
Two tracks for UCM鈥檚 accelerated degree completion program in Mathematics
Once you finish your undergraduate classes, you can choose between two program tracks
for your accelerated master鈥檚 degree:
- Mathematics: Focus on building deep mathematical skills and performing graduate research.
- Actuarial Science and Statistics: Apply your mathematical skills in actuarial science and statistics, and develop advanced
problem-solving skills.
Unique learning opportunities in UCM鈥檚 accelerated Math program
You鈥檒l have numerous opportunities to actively participate in your education at the
欧美视频 in our accelerated degree completion program in Mathematics.
- Undergraduate and graduate research: Work with a faculty mentor on research, starting as an undergraduate and continuing
through the accelerated master鈥檚 program in Mathematics. You can write a thesis under
the supervision of a faculty member who shares your research interests and may have
the opportunity to publish your work alongside your faculty sponsor.
- Student life: Join other UCM students, including those in our accelerated degree completion programs,
by participating in groups such as the mathematics honor society, Kappa Mu Epsilon,
or the student chapter of the Mathematical Association of America. Network with fellow
students and faculty mentors to explore job prospects, attend conferences, share ideas
and take part in academic competitions.
- Internships: Apply your mathematics skills and knowledge in a professional setting by signing up
for an internship. It may even lead to a job offer after graduation.
What can you do with an accelerated master鈥檚 degree in Mathematics from UCM?
The 欧美视频鈥檚 accelerated degree completion program in Mathematics
gives you the education you need to succeed in a number of career fields.
You鈥檒l have the analytical, critical thinking and mathematical skills to make a valuable
contribution to statistics, data analysis and consulting in the private sector. You
can also take advantage of opportunities in government, working for organizations
such as the Federal Reserve.
