Combined B.S. and M.S. Program in Mathematical Sciences

Clemson undergraduates may begin the M.S. program while completing the B.S. degree, subject to the following conditions:

  1. Undergraduate students must have an overall GPA of at least 3.5 and must have completed the junior year.
  2. In order to be admitted to the M.S. program, students need to apply through the Graduate School, following all applicable requirements. Each application requires at least two letters of recommendation.
  3. Students accepted into the combined B.S. and M.S. program are conditionally admitted to the Graduate School. Removal of the conditional status requires completion of the B.S. degree and submission of satisfactory GRE General test scores. Students who have been conditionally admitted are not eligible for graduate assistantships until the conditional status has been removed.
  4. Up to 12 semester hours from the following MTHSC courses may be included in the B.S. degree: 800, 803, 804, 805, 810, 814, 821, 853, 860, or other courses as approved by the Graduate Coordinator.
  5. The Graduate Coordinator will serve as first year graduate advisor for all students in the program and will be responsible for approving their graduate plans of study.

Students interested in this program should discuss it with the department's Undergraduate Coordinator and Graduate Coordinator. Application for this program would normally be made by the end of the junior year, although it can be made any time during the junior year up to the start of the final semester prior to graduation. Students are encouraged to have completed or be enrolled in MthSc 412 and/or 453 prior to submitting an application.

As an alternative to entering the combined B.S./M.S. program, undergraduate students are still able to take graduate courses by completing the GS6 form. However, any courses taken in this fashion cannot count simultaneously for both the B.S. degree and any subsequent graduate degree at Clemson.
