Requirements
What are the requirements to apply for Mathematics and Computational and Applied Mathematics at ODU?
Students entering the Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's of Science Program program in Mathematics and Computational and Applied Mathematics should meet the minimum university admission requirements (Undergraduate Admission)
Students in the program will fulfill all normal admission and curricular requirements for both a B.S. in mathematics and an M.S. in computational and applied mathematics with the following exceptions: Students in the program may count up to 12 hours of 500 or 600 level graduate courses, excluding independent study, taken as an undergraduate for which they have earned a grade point average of 3.0 or greater with no course grade lower than a B- toward both the B.S. in mathematics and the M.S. in computational and applied mathematics. Approved graduate courses can substitute for required undergraduate courses.
