  3. Mathematics and/or Computer Science Electives (9 semester hours) Any courses numbered MATH 520-569, 580-599, 620-669, 680- 699; STAT 541- 549, 590-599, 640-649, with particular attention to MATH 540, STAT 541, 548, MATH 566, 568, 569. Alternative electives (e.g. MATH 420-469, STAT 440-449, CMPT 570-599, 670-699) are encouraged and may be substituted with prior written approval of the graduate program coordinator. MATH 425 and 426 must be elected if not taken previously. At most, 6 s.h. may be taken at the 400 level.

  4. A comprehensive examination in Algebra, Analysis, and Applied Mathematics. A student may write a thesis in lieu of taking the Comprehensive Examination. Students selecting the thesis option will take MATH 698 as a mathematics elective for 3 semester hours of credit.
