Program Overview

Program Overview

The Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) in Mathematical Sciences is designed for UVM students with strong ability and motivation to complete a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as a Master's degree in mathematics, within five years.


Type of Degree

The program offers an Accelerated Master's degree in Mathematical Sciences.


School or College

The program is offered by the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences.


Area of Study

The area of study is Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.


Program Format

The program format is On-campus, Full-time.


Curriculum

The curriculum consists of two options: Thesis and Non-Thesis.


Thesis Option

  • 24 semester hours of acceptable graduate credits in advanced mathematics courses
  • 6 semester hours of thesis research (MATH 6391) culminating in a master's thesis

Non-Thesis Option

  • 30 semester hours of acceptable graduate credits in advanced mathematics courses
  • No thesis is required

Both Options

  • Under either option, students must take, or acquire the knowledge of the content in, the courses MATH 6441 and MATH 6444
  • Students must satisfactorily complete at least 4 6000-level mathematics courses
  • Students must select a major concentration from among the following areas: Analysis, Algebra, Applied Mathematics, or Discrete Mathematics
  • The concentration shall consist of at least 9 approved credits in advanced mathematics courses in the respective area, 3 of which must be at the 6000-level

Admissions

The student carries out the usual procedure for admission to the MS program in Mathematical Sciences, including letters of recommendation.


  • Applicants must achieve the following by the end of their junior year:
    • Completion of specific math courses with an overall GPA of 3.2 or higher
    • Completion of specific math courses with grades of B+ or better in each
    • Completion of at least two additional 3000 or higher-level mathematics or statistics courses with grades of B+ or better in each

Outcomes

Graduating students from the Mathematics (AMP) program should:


  • Be prepared for entry into a Mathematics Ph.D. program
  • Have a solid understanding of graduate-level real and complex analysis
  • Be able to write a clear, precise, and logically rigorous multi-step proof
  • Demonstrate mastery of the core mathematical concepts in at least one area of specialty
