Mathematics is both a science and a tool for many other disciplines, including the physical and life sciences, engineering, economics and sociology. The 4+1 M.S. degree provides advanced mathematical training at a level beyond a Bachelor's degree with one further year of study. Mathematicians use mathematical models, algorithms, graphs, networks, and other mathematical structures to solve problems in a broad range of fields.

- Any 600 or 800 level MATH course listed in section 3.2.3, for a minimum of 24 credits (or 18 credits for students who select the thesis option)
- Any 600 or 800 level non-MATH course, up to a maximum of 3 credits
- The reading course MATH 870, up to a maximum of 3 credits
Admission requirements
BodyText4
Students who wish to be admitted to the 4+1 B.S./M.S. program should submit an application during their junior year of academic study toward an undergraduate degree at the University of Delaware. Such students must be enrolled in a Bachelor of Science degree program administered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
At a minimum, the applicant must have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 and a GPA of 3.4 in their undergraduate major. The applicant must have completed at least two mathematics courses at or above the 400 level.
Two letters of recommendation from University of Delaware faculty and academic transcripts must be submitted. Neither the GRE nor the TOEFL exam is required.
