Accelerated Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Applied Mathematics

After successfully completing an interdisciplinary five-year bachelor/master's program, a student will receive at the same time a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in applied mathematics. Once a student completes the core course requirement for the bachelor's degree, he or she will be admitted into the graduate school to begin graduate level study. Typically, a student in this program will complete the core course sequences of the undergraduate program by the end of the third year. During the fourth and fifth year of study the student will be completing our current master's program and six elective credits needed for the bachelor's degree. These elective credits may be at the graduate level. Note that those students who have participated in our post-secondary program or taken AP classes before entering the University of Akron may begin their graduate studies earlier.

To be considered for acceptance to one of the graduate programs in the at The University of Akron, the following admission criteria are examined:

A preferred minimum of 3.0 GPA, on a 4.0 scale, from an accredited undergraduate program.

For those that have lower than a 3.0 GPA, individual consideration may be made based upon the GMAT, GRE, or equivalent scores.

For those that have a 3.0 GPA or higher, but lack three years of work experience, a GMAT score of 500 or higher is preferred to indicate potential success in the graduate program.

Admittance without a GMAT test requirement may be granted to those holding a graduate degree from an accredited university or those with three or more years of professional work experience beyond the earned bachelor’s degree.

Applicants holding a degree from outside the United States and with an academic standing of first or high second class, satisfactory evidence of competence in English (i.e., TOEFL score of 79 or above or IELTS score of 6.5 or above) is required.
