DePaul Undergraduate Degree and Master of Science in Pure Mathematics

DePaul University

​The combined bachelor’s plus master’s degree program in Pure Mathematics is designed to provide students with rigorous training in Pure Mathematics as well as a solid foundation for pursuing PhD-level graduate work in mathematics or for teaching mathematics at the community college level. This combined program is an opportunity for every DePaul undergraduate with at least 88 credits (junior standing) and preparatory work in Mathematics equivalent to a math minor to apply for early admission to the Master of Science in Pure Mathematics. This will be beneficial to non-mathematics majors who would like to add the Master’s degree in Mathematics to their current BS degree, which will open such career opportunities as teaching Mathematics at the college level or pursuing a doctorate or professional degree. Students interested in the combined degree program should consult first with their undergraduate advisor in their home college and the Pure Mathematics graduate program director to evaluate whether they are eligible for admission to the combined degree program and to plan the undergraduate program of study that includes the graduate level MAT courses as open electives or, in certain cases, as substitutes to major requirements.
