Core Examinations in Mathematics
|
Students in the master's program in mathematics will take written
examinations covering the three courses MA 6153, MA 6753, and MA 6933.
The student must successfully complete these three courses or their
equivalent before taking the examinations. In the case of a failure
in any part of the core examinations, only one reexamination is
normally allowed. Should a student fail only one part of the three
parts of the core examinations, then the reexamination would be on
that part only and given at a time convenient to the student and the
committees involved. Should a student fail two or three parts of the
core examinations, then the reexamination would be on all three parts
and will be given only at a regularly scheduled time for the core
examinations. Failure on any part of the reexamination constitutes
failure on the core examinations.
The core examinations will be given by the Graduate Coordinating Committee. Regularly scheduled times for the core examinations are February and October of each year, and in June only in the case they are needed for August graduation. Pass or fail will be determined by a majority vote of the Graduate Coordinating Committee. The core examinations are as follows:
