General Mathematics Master's Program

The General Mathematics Program is intended to prepare students to apply to Ph.D. programs.

Counseling

General M.S. Math students will receive course counseling from the MS Chair. The Graduate Program Coordinator will process departmental and Rackham paperwork.  Information about minimum credits, cross-listed courses, etc. can be found in this Course Enrollment section of the Graduate Student Handbook.
