Course Advising for New Students

For new students, learn about what mathematics courses you should take for your major and for your math requirements. 

Progress Reports/Guidelines & Student Handbooks

Progress Reports:

Progress Reports must be completed by each graduate student and reviewed by their advisor one month prior to the end of classes each semester. Graduate students and their advisor will receive a notification every semester to complete a progress report. You should keep a copy of the form and update as needed. If you do not have a formal research advisor, please consult with the advisor assigned to you in SIS. 

Handbooks:

• Graduate Handbook for Doctoral Program
• Graduate Handbook for Master of Science Program
• Academic Integrity Handbook

  Mathematica is a software package which is ideal for communicating scientific ideas, whether this is visualization of a concept in an intro-level course, or creating a simulation of a new idea related to research.

Reporting Discrimination

The Mathematics Department wants to ensure the best possible learning experience for students. We expect everyone to be treated with respect. Review ways to report discrimination.
