Program Description
The Accelerated Dual Degrees in Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Mathematics program prepare students to have high levels of proficiency in mathematics content to help them advance to a Ph.D. program in mathematics or mathematics-related fields or to qualify for careers in industry, government, and education.
Admissions Requirements
Applicants must meet the General Admissions Requirements of Clark Atlanta University as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. At the beginning of the second semester of the third year of study, students in the Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics may apply for admission to the BS/MS program. The student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 and must also satisfy the General Graduate Program Admission requirements. If the student is accepted for the BS/MS program, then he/she may begin graduate course work during his/her fourth year of study while completing the undergraduate BS degree requirements. During the fifth year of study, students engage exclusively in graduate study. Students have the choice of two concentration tracks: Pure Mathematics concentration or Applied Mathematics concentration. Summer research activities may be available or required depending on the student’s choice of research area and the availability of the faculty willing to work on the topic.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Accelerated Dual Degrees in Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Mathematics Program a student should be able to:
- Demonstrate a high level of competency in mathematical reasoning and mathematical modeling of complex phenomena in many fields of science.
- Demonstrate a high level of proficiency in conducting mathematical research and presenting findings, in both written and oral forms, to scientific and general audiences.
- Demonstrate a high level of competency in constructing proofs of major theoretical results in the field of mathematics.
- Demonstrate a high level of proficiency in computing skills and mathematical approximations using standard mathematical software and other advanced technologies.
