Data Analytics, BS/MS Mathematics Accelerated Program

A student in the BS in Data Analytics program needs to apply for the accelerated program by the end of the semester prior to the senior year. The admission standard to the Accelerated Program should be consistent with the MS in Math program. Students in the accelerated program should meet the program requirements of both BS in Data Analytics and MS in Math programs.

  • Major in Data Analytics
  • Completion of 60 credit hours of undergraduate course work
  • Have and maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0
  • Obtain permission from the MS in Math director to take the required MS in Math courses as an undergraduate. In addition to the specific math courses for the Data Analytics major, students are required to take MATH 232 CALCULUS II, MATH 233 CALCULUS III, MATH 290 INTRODUCTION TO PROOF, and either MATH 347 PROBABILITY THEORY or MATH 352 ANALYSIS during their undergraduate years as a prerequisite for the graduate degree.
  • Upon completion of the BS in Data Analytics, apply to the MS in Math program under the normal admission process.
  • At most two grades of C or C+ are allowed in graduate courses; all other graduate coursework must have a grade of B- or higher, with a graduate GPA of at least 3.0.
  • The completed degree requires a total of 33 credit hours of graduate coursework (which includes the 9 credit hours of graduate courses taken while an undergraduate).

The student will take the following three MS in Math graduate courses as part of the BS in Data Analytics. All of the courses will receive credit toward the MS in Math degree once the student is admitted to the MS in Math program.

MATH 409DATA MINING3
MATH 423GAME THEORY AND APPLICATIONS3
MATH 466CRYPTOGRAPHY3

Your degree map is a general guide suggesting courses to complete each term on the academic pathway to your degree. It is based on the most current scheduling information from your academic program. Your program’s degree map is reviewed annually and updated as schedules change (although you retain the same course requirements as long as you are continuously enrolled in your degree program).

Always work closely with your academic advisor to understand curriculum requirements and scheduling, as each student’s academic plan can look slightly different.
