B.S./M.S. Applied Mathematics-Four Plus One

The BS Mathematics / MS Applied Mathematics allows an outstanding student to complete the requirements for both degrees in a period of 5 years.
Guidelines:
Students eligible for the Four Plus One Program have:
i. Completed a minimum of seventy-five (75) and a maximum of ninety-six (96) credit hours in their undergraduate programs, including credits earned from advanced placement, and
ii. A minimum accumulated grade point average (GPA) of 3.25 at WCU.

Students may apply for admission to Graduate School and permission to have up to 12 credit hours of graduate level course work during their senior year count as advanced placement toward their MS degree. Such a request must be approved by both the Head of the Mathematics Department and the Director of the Graduate Program of the Mathematics Department. They in turn must recommend this course of action to the Graduate School. After the student receives the BS degree and completes admission requirements, he or she may be officially admitted into the MS degree program in Applied Mathematics. After admission to the master’s program, the designated courses in which the student earned grades of B or better may be applied toward the requirements of that degree. These courses also count toward the 128 hours needed for the BS degree.
