Bachelors/Masters Five Year Degree Plan
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics has a program that enables a student majoring in mathematics to receive a Bachelors and a Masters degree in a five year period. The key feature of the program is that a student can count up to 12 hours of graduate level courses satisfying requirements for the B.A. or B.S. toward the M.A. or M.S. in Mathematics.
This program is designed for students in the B.A. or B.S. program in Mathematics at UNCW who have:
- Completed a minimum of seventy-five (75) and a maximum of ninety-eight (98) credit hours in their undergraduate programs in mathematics, including credits earned from advanced placement if they start at UNCW or are transfer students and have completed a minimum of two semesters as a full-time student at UNCW, a minimum of 24 hours.
- Completed a minimum of nine (9) hours of 300-400 level mathematics or statistics courses.
- A minimum accumulated grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 and minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on all 300-400 level mathematics or statistics courses at UNCW.
If you meet the above criteria, you can apply for this program. First obtain an application form from Dr. John Karlof (962-3384, karlof uncw edu ), the Graduate Coordinator for the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Return your completed application to Dr. Karlof. Departmental permission to apply to the Bachelor’s/ Master’s degree program does not guarantee admission to the Graduate School. Admission is contingent of meeting eligibility requirements at the time of entering the graduate program.
