The program will be tailored to individual student needs, and will consist of 33 credit hours. A student will choose to specialize either in computer science, in applied mathematics, or with the help of their advisor, specialize in both disciplines. A thesis and non-thesis option is available. Students wishing to follow the thesis option must complete 24 credit of coursework and 9 credits of thesis. No more than two 400 level courses may apply toward this degree program.

No more than two 400-level courses may be selected.

Students will be encouraged to take courses bridging the two disciplines (e.g. M562 - Statistical Design of Experiments and B581 - Advanced Computer Graphics). Both full-time and part-time study will be possible.

Students are expected to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above. Failure to maintain a 3.0 GPA for two consecutive semesters, or accumulating any two grades of D or below, may result in dismissal from the program.

The program must be completed within seven years. Only courses taken within seven years of completion of the first course in the program may count toward this degree.
