CSE Option in Mathematics
CSE Option in Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics (MATH) offers CSE Options in both the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs. Students electing the CSE Option for either degree program are expected to satisfy all regular requirements for graduate study in MATH. A student will normally be able to satisfy the requirements for the CSE Option by taking elective courses within the MATH graduate programs.
M.S. Program
For the M.S. in MATH with the CSE Option, the following additional requirements must be satisfied: one course must be taken from each of the two areas in the list of approved CSE Option courses, and 12 additional credit hours of courses must be taken from the list of CSE courses, of which 4 hours must be in CSE courses cross-listed with MATH, and 4 hours must be in CSE courses not cross-listed with MATH. The M.S. thesis, if any, must have a significant computational component.
Ph.D. Program
For the Ph.D. in MATH with the CSE Option, the following additional requirements must be satisfied: 12 credit hours of courses must be taken from the list of CSE courses, with at least eight of those hours in courses at the 500 level, and at least four hours must be in CSE courses not cross-listed with MATH. The Ph.D. thesis must have a significant computational component, and the thesis committee must include at least one CSE-affiliated faculty member from a department other than MATH.
