  1. Unless specifically exempted, each candidate for the M.Sc. student is required to choose no fewer than four 700-level courses in Mathematics. The remaining courses must be chosen from those acceptable to the department and may include up to two one-term courses at the graduate level from a cognate subject.  Students intending to do doctoral work are expected to complete two of the two-term course sequences from Algebra *701/*702, Analysis *721/*722, and Applied Math *741/*742.

  2. A student who fails a prescribed graduate, prerequisite undergraduate, or required extra course, must withdraw from the university unless the Faculty Committee on Graduate Admissions and Study approves a suitable recommendation from the Department of Mathematics & Statistics.

  3. All graduate students in the department are expected to attend the weekly Departmental Colloquium. The Colloquium is a series of lectures on a wide variety of topics held each Friday afternoon during the academic year. These talks are intended for a general audience.

  4. It is essential that a student submitting an M.Sc. thesis follows faithfully the procedures set forth in Section 2.7 of the Graduate Calendar.
