- Q: What is the minimum score required on the GRE?
A: Regarding the GPA, GRE and TOEFL scores, there is no rigid minimum
cut-off score for admission to the program. The GRE score and the GPA are
considered together along with all information in the application.
However, an applicant with a combined GRE score of at least 1050 with at
least 550 on the math portion would have a reasonable probability of
admission as a Master's applicant, assuming that the student's other
credentials were in order (1200 and 650 for Ph.D.). Higher standards
prevail for students seeking Teaching Assistantships.

- Q: Is it possible for a person with a full-time job to attend classes part-time and obtain a graduate degree in the Mathematics Department?
A: Yes, it is possible for a person with a full-time job to obtain a
graduate degree since the majority of our graduate level classes are
offered during the evening. The Master's Degree is a total of 36 credit
hours (12 3-credit hour courses). If you take 9 credit hours (3 courses)
per semester, it would take a minimum of 4 semesters. 9 credit hours is
considered full-time status. We do have some working students taking
classes part-time (less than 9 credit hours) and it does extend the
length of time to complete the degree. However, it is possible to do that.

The department code, leave blank. That will get your official score to
the Admission's Office who requires the official report. They will then
forward the scores to our department. If you wish, you may send
unofficial reports directly to our department, however, the Admission's
Office still requires official reports for your application to become
complete.
