COMBINED BACHELORS'S TO MASTER's -  BS to MA in Mathematics

Undergraduate students accepted to the BS to MA in Mathematics program option will be admitted to the MA in Mathematics  and allowed to complete up to three graduate level classes (nine credit hours) during their final academic year of undergraduate studies. Students admitted into the pipeline program must apply for admission to the College of Graduate Studies for the semester that they intend to matriculate. They will then continue in  to the graduate program upon completion of the undergraduate degree requirements. The graduate coursework (up to nine hours) may be applied to completion of both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. It will be the joint responsibility of the faculty and administrators in the undergraduate and graduate programs to supervise students admitted to the combined program option, to ensure that the limit of nine hours taken as an undergraduate is strictly enforced, and to request that the College of Graduate Studies change their matriculation from Undergraduate to Graduate when they meet all undergraduate degree requirements.  

The following provisions apply for classes taken for graduate credit: 1) graduate classes taken at The University of Toledo only after the student is accepted in the program, 2)

MATH 5330  Abstract Algebra I,   MATH 5340  Abstract Algebra II,    MATH 5450 MATH 5450 MATH 5450  Introduction to Topology I, MATH 5460 MATH 5460 MATH 5460  Introduction to Topology II,  MATH 5820 MATH 5820MATH 5820   Introduction to Real Analysis I,   MATH 5830    Introduction to Real Analysis II,   MATH 5880     Introduction  to Complex Variables, may be included in the approved nine semester hours of graduate credit taken as an undergraduate. Students interested in the combined program must submit a graduate admission application to the College of Graduate Studies. 

  • Students will judge the validity of rigorous mathematical arguments.
  • Students will explain mathematical ideas and arguments.
  • Students will discuss mathematical proofs.
  • Students will create mathematical arguments.\\n
