Minimum GPA

2.50

Degree Requirements

A grade of C or higher is required in each MATH or STAT course used to satisfy degree requirements for a major in mathematical sciences. At most, six credits of independent study may be used in any undergraduate degree program in mathematical sciences.

Admission Policies

Students must meet minimum GPA requirements. Probationary admission may be provided for those students with GPAs of between 2.30 and 2.49. Students who enter on probation must meet with an advisor to establish a probationary course of study. Specific details pertaining to probationary status can be found in the College of Sciences listing of the undergraduate catalog.

Transfer Policies

Transfer students must have a minimum GPA of 2.50. All students are required to meet with an advisor to determine course work that can be used to satisfy degree requirements. The last 30 credit hours must be taken at UNLV.

The M.S. program in Mathematical Sciences has four areas of concentration:

• Pure Mathematics
• Applied Mathematics
• Applied Statistics
• Teaching Mathematics

Admission Requirements

• Have a bachelor's degree with minimum 2.75 GPA for all undergraduate work (or minimum 3.00 GPA for the last 2 years of undergraduate work).
• Have completed at least 18 credit hours of upper-division mathematics or statistics courses beyond calculus.
• In addition, the applicant should also meet all the Graduate College requirements.

Application Procedure

Applicants for the M.S. program will need to submit the following:

1. Online application.
2. Application fee.
3. Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended (for colleges and universities not in the U.S., a course-by-course evaluation of foreign credentials is required — see the Foreign Credential Evaluations page for details).
4. Official TOEFL scores, if the official language of your country is not English. UNLV code is 4861.
5. Statement of purpose. Please state your purpose in applying for graduate study, your intended area of specialization in mathematical sciences (if known) and any additional information that may aid the selection committee in evaluating your preparation and aptitude for graduate study at UNLV.
6. At least 2 letters of recommendation from persons familiar with your academic record and potential for advanced study in the mathematical sciences.
7. Application for Graduate Assistantship (if interested). Please note that we are currently unable to offer graduate assistantship to our M.S. students.

All the documents can be submitted through the online application portal.
