COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES4GRADUATE DEGREES 4261 MASTER OF SCIENCE IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE Northside Hall 301B (574) 520-4335 www.cs.iusb.edu/applied_mcs.html PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This degree is offered jointly by the Department of Computer and Information Sciences and the Department of Mathematical Sciences. The goal of this program is to address the needs of people who have work experience in technical or quantitative fields; people with undergraduate degrees in science or business; or people who simply wish to increase their level of skills and expertise in computing and applied mathematics. Students work with an advisor to select a schedule of courses tailored to their personal interests and goals. A specialization will be selected in either computer science, applied mathematics, or with the help of their advisor, in both disciplines. Thesis and non-thesis options are available. The emphasis throughout the curriculum is on the real-world problems and applications likely to be encountered in business and industry. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Candidates for admission to the program are required to hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution with a minimum GPA of 3.0. Alternatively, an applicant whose past academic record is not sufficiently strong (e.g. low GPA, outdated undergraduate degree, etc.) can qualify for admission by scoring 600 or higher on the quantitative component of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). No specific undergraduate field of study is required. Students with satisfactory competence in undergraduate study of basic computer and mathematics subjects are encouraged to apply. Typically, these applicants have undergraduate degrees in mathematics, computer science, chemistry, physics, biological sciences, engineering, secondary mathematics education, business, economics, and other technical fields. In all cases, students lacking an appropriate background in computer science and/or mathematics are required to remove those deficiencies in a timely manner before taking graduate courses. Specifically, • At most, 50 percent of course work may be taken under provisional status, pending formal admission. • Students with provisional status must have explicit permission from the graduate director prior to registering for graduate courses. APPLICATION PROCEDURE For an application to be considered, the following must be received: • Application for admission, www.iusb.edu/~graduate • Three letters of recommendation • IU South Bend application fee • Official transcript from each postsecondary school attended • Evidence of an earned, four-year, bachelor’s degree • GRE scores, if submitted as evidence of academic strength (optional) • Acceptable TOEFL scores for non-English speaking applicants (score of 550 is currently required) DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The program is tailored to individual student needs and consists of 33 credit hours. A student will choose to specialize in either computer science, applied mathematics, or with the help of their advisor, specialize in both disciplines. Thesis and non-thesis options are available. Students wishing to follow the thesis option must complete 24 credit hours of course work and 9 credit hours of thesis. No more than two 400-level courses may apply towards this degree.
