Academic Programs

Program name Program type
Mathematics BS, MS, Minor

The Mathematics Department offers a comprehensive undergraduate program of courses leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics. It also offers a program of courses for students who wish to minor in mathematics, as well as graduate courses for programs of study leading to a Master of Science degree. The mix of pure and applied mathematics in these courses increases both the usefulness of and the demand for graduates with a degree in mathematics. In addition, the Mathematics Department offers courses that serve all departments in the university.

The rich variety of courses in the Mathematics Department provides students with the opportunity to experience those fields and the techniques of mathematics that are most useful in the physical sciences, engineering, statistics and business. Examples include mathematical modeling, mathematical biology, data science, operations research, fluid dynamics, numerical analysis, financial mathematics and sustainability.

Undergraduate Programs

BS Mathematics

The undergraduate program for math majors contains a central core of courses. These courses give a solid basis for advanced work that is tailored to fit the needs and objectives of each individual student. Advanced coursework is chosen in close consultation with faculty advisors.

Concentrations

The General Curriculum in Mathematics is not a concentration, and is the default curriculum required for students who do not declare a concentration. The general curriculum and all of the concentrations provide a strong mathematical foundation for the student contemplating the pursuit of a graduate degree in mathematics.

Applied Mathematics

Provides a curriculum with an emphasis on applications to the physical sciences and engineering. This concentration benefits students who are interested in the use of mathematics in areas such as engineering, data science, physics, aeronautics, finance, actuarial science, biology, medicine, and the geosciences. Potential career paths include pursuit of advanced degrees in any of the above fields or in applied mathematics, as well as industry jobs in a broad range of areas in which physical processes are modeled or analyzed using the tools of mathematics.

Mathematics Teaching

Students wishing to prepare for a career teaching mathematics in middle or senior high school should choose the concentration in teaching. The courses in the concentration, coupled with the other required courses in the major, fulfill the prerequisites for the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

Pure Mathematics

A broad and rigorous curriculum designed both for students who will pursue an advanced degree in mathematics as well as those who choose careers requiring significant mathematical training. Graduates of the program are well prepared to enter graduate programs in mathematics and capable of bringing a broad range of mathematical skills and expertise to a wide range of professional careers.

Degree Requirements and Curriculum
 

Mathematics Minor

Students may earn a minor in mathematics by completing a coordinated program of study. The program consists of a core of required courses, followed by four advanced courses coordinated with a student's career objectives. Interested students should contact the Mathematics Department for individual advisement.

Minor Requirements

Graduate Programs

Master of Science Degree in Mathematics

General Characteristics

The Master of Science program in mathematics prepares students to enter careers in industry, teaching at the community college level, or to prepare for entering a PhD program in pure or applied mathematics.

Prerequisites

General CSU minimum qualifications for students entering a master's degree program include a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution with a minimum grade point average of 2.5 in the last 90 quarter units attempted.

Generally, the Mathematics Department at Cal Poly expects incoming master's degree students to have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, and preferably a major in mathematics. Applicants without a major in mathematics are still welcome to apply, but must have substantial exposure to upper-level mathematics courses. Such applicants may be subject to acceptance conditional upon completion of remaining standard undergraduate mathematics curricula.

Program of Study

The Master's program requires 45 units of coursework. Students take eleven specified 500 level courses, with an additional four units of electives at the 400 or 500 level. Two of these courses have prerequisite qualifying exams, each offered three times a year. The culminating experience is either a written and publicly presented thesis on a significant topic at the 500 level, or an oral exam in three of five subjects: applied analysis, discrete mathematics, topology, algebra, or measure theory.

Degree Requirements and Curriculum
 

Specialization in Applied Mathematics

This program prepares students to enter careers in industry or to enter a PhD program in applied mathematics. Students take ten specified 400 and 500 level courses, with an additional eight units at the 400 or 500 level. Students can take electives that fit their specific needs or career objectives, and the culminating experience is either a written and publicly presented thesis on a significant mathematical topic at the 500 level, or oral exams in three of five subjects: applied analysis, discrete mathematics, topology, algebra, or measure theory.

Degree Requirements and Curriculum

Blended BS+MS Mathematics

A blended program provides an accelerated route to a graduate degree, with simultaneous conferring of both Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Students in the blended program are provided with a seamless process whereby they can progress from undergraduate to graduate status. Students are required to complete all requirements for both degrees.

A blended program is available for MS Mathematics.

Eligibility

Students majoring in BS Mathematics are eligible for the blended program in MS Mathematics.

Participation in a blended program is based upon prior academic performance and other measures of professional promise. Refer to Graduate Education for more information and for the minimum criteria required to be eligible for a blended program at Cal Poly. Contact the Graduate Program Coordinator in the Mathematics department for any additional eligibility criteria.
