Combined Bachelor of Science/Master of Science with Major in Mathematics
This accelerated, five-year program leads to both Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and a Master of Science (M.S.) degrees. Students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 in upper-division and graduate courses. Students should identify themselves as B.S./M.S. students during their freshman year and apply for admission to candidacy at the end of their senior year. Because of the accelerated nature of the program, students should take the GRE exam by the end of their junior year.
Prerequisite Coursework for Transfer Students
Students transferring to Florida Atlantic University must complete both lower-division requirements (including the requirements of the Intellectual Foundations Program) and requirements for the college and major. Lower-division requirements may be completed through the A.A. degree from any Florida public college, university or community college or through equivalent coursework at another regionally accredited institution. Before transferring and to ensure timely progress toward the baccalaureate degree, students must also complete the prerequisite courses for their major as outlined in the Transfer Student Manual.

All courses not approved by the Florida Statewide Course Numbering System that will be used to satisfy requirements will be evaluated individually on the basis of content and will require a catalog course description and a copy of the syllabus for assessment.
In addition to the University and Charles E. Schmidt College of Science requirements, students seeking a B.S./M.S. degree in Mathematics must complete the following courses:
In addition to the University and Charles E. Schmidt College of Science requirements, students seeking a B.S./M.S. degree in Mathematics must complete the following courses:
| Calculus 1 Honors | MAC 2311 | 4 |
| Calculus 2 Honors | MAC 2312 | 4 |
| Calculus 3 Honors | MAC 2313 | 4 |
| Matrix Theory | MAS 2103 | 3 |
| Discrete Mathematics | MAD 2104 | 3 |
| Introduction to Computational Math | MAD 2502 | 3 |
| Mathematical Problem Solving | MAT 4937 | 3 |
| Linear Algebra 2 | MAS 4107 | 3 |
| Probability and Statistics 1 | STA 4442 | 3 |
| Introductory Complex Analysis | MAA 4402 | 3 |
| Introductory Analysis 1 | MAA 5228 | 3 |
| Introductory Analysis 2 | MAA 5229 | 3 |
| Introductory Abstract Algebra 1 | MAS 5311 | 3 |
| Introductory Abstract Algebra 2 | MAS 5312 | 3 |
| Real Analysis 1 | MAA 6306 | 3 |
| 3 upper-division undergraduate electives (3000-4000 level) | 9 | |
| 7 graduate electives (at least 5 at 6000 level) | 21 | |
| Total (42 undergraduate and 36 graduate) | 78 | |
Notes:
1. The 15 credits from the graduate courses: MAA 5228, 5229, MAS 5311, 5612 and MAA 6306 will be counted toward both degrees. Department of Mathematical Sciences B.S. degree requirements also include General Chemistry or General Physics with lab. Department of Mathematical Sciences M.S. degree requirements also include master's-level pass of departmental graduate qualifying exam in both analysis and algebra. All students in the B.S./M.S. program must achieve the master's-level pass to obtain the combined degree.
2. Students may opt to take up to 9 master's thesis credits as elective courses, but the student must successfully complete a master's thesis for these credits to be counted toward the degree requirements. The thesis option does not replace the qualifying exam requirement noted in item 1 above.
3. Total credits: A student could complete the requirements of this program and earn both B.S. and M.S. degrees with a minimum of 141 total credits, taking at least 36 graduate credits, which is the number required for a standard M.S. degree (non-thesis) in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
