MATH-MA - Mathematics

Have a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited college or university.

Demonstrate the potential to successfully pursue graduate study by having attained a minimum undergraduate grade average of B in mathematics courses and a B- in the undergraduate record as a whole. Alternatively, graduation from the Lehman Teachers Master's in Mathematics program or an equivalent master's degree with a B cumulative average may replace undergraduate grade requirements.

Have completed at least calculus through vector calculus, at least 3 credits in linear algebra, at least 3 credits in modern algebra and at least 3 credits in advanced calculus/analysis. (Students with fewer than 12 credits in mathematics beyond calculus or lacking specific courses may be considered for conditional admission; however, any student admitted must be sufficiently advanced to take at least one course in the program the first semester of matriculation.)

Must be taken as a matriculated student at Lehman.

A written comprehensive examination is required. The exam shall cover the three courses prescribed above.

Students are required to maintain a cumulative B average to stay in good standing, and must have an overall B average to graduate. Two consecutive semesters in attendance out of good standing is cause for dismissal.

Chosen with the permission of the Graduate Adviser.
