The Masters Program

The requirements for our Masters degree are:

  1. Demonstrate proficiency at the undergraduate level in Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra equivalent to two quarters of the corresponding classes at UCR. This requirement may be met either by taking the appropriate four classes at UCR or by having classes from another instution approved by the Graduate Advisor.

  B. Demonstrate proficiency at the graduate level in two of the four subjects

1. Algebra
2. Complex Analysis
3. Real Analysis
4. Topology

This is done by either taking the corresponding graduate sequences and earning a  “C” or better in each class and a 3.0 GPA in each sequence, or by passing the corresponding qualifying exams at the “masters” level.

C. Pass approximately 9 approved mathematics classes; approximately 5 of these must be from an approved list of graduate mathematics classes.
