Other MS Degree Requirements

  • Mathematical Content Electives Theme: Courses selected to complete the Mathematical Content Electives must have mathematically focused content related by a defined theme chosen by the student.
  • Mathematical Modeling Electives Theme: Courses selected to complete the Mathematical Modeling Electives must be application areas that use mathematical methods and be related by a defined theme chosen by the student.
  • At least three of the six courses used to satisfy the mathematical content and mathematical modeling themes must be at the 400/500 level.
  • Master's Thesis (optional): Up to two units of the Mathematical Modeling Electives Theme may be replaced with ES_APPM 590-0 Research for work culminating in a Master's thesis consisting of original research and approved by a thesis committee.
