TheSchool of Mathematics provides opportunities for study in a wide range of mathematical disciplines. First-year graduate sequences include algebra, analysis, differential equations, geometry, numerical analysis, probability, quantitative finance, statistics, and topology in addition to courses in methods of applied mathematics.

A program of study leading to a master's degree in mathematics consists of 30 credit hours and must include at least twelve credit hours at the 6000 level or above in mathematics, with courses in at least three different fields of Mathematics, as follows.

The Georgia Tech College of Sciences BS/MS degree program enables highly motivated students with strong academic credentials to earn a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Master of Science in Mathematics. The BS/MS program prepares students for competitive career placements with higher earning potentials as well as competitive admission to Ph.D. and professional programs (including medical/law/pharmacy/dental/pharmacy schools). Thesis and non-thesis options are offered for the BS/MS program. Undergraduates with a significant amount of AP/IB/dual enrollment credits are highly encouraged to apply to the BS/MS program.

1. To apply to the program, students must have at least 30 credit hours earned at Georgia Tech with an undergraduate GPA of 3.3 or higher, and fewer than 90 credit hours overall (including transfer credit).

3. Students considering the M.S. Thesis Option are strongly encouraged to begin undergraduate research early in their B.S. program of study. The student must identify the M.S. thesis advisor prior to completion of the B,S, degree and proceeding to the M.S. program. Research described in an undergraduate thesis submitted as a part of the B.S. Research Option cannot be used in the M.S. thesis.

Students pursuing the BS/MS Option in Mathematics must complete all requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics program and the Master of Science in Mathematics program. Students may use a maximum of 6 credit hours of approved coursework (4000-level or higher; not seminar or research credit, MATH 6701 or MATH 6702) in Mathematics with grades of B or higher from the Bachelor of Science program of study.
