Core Examinations in Mathematics
|
Students in the master's program in mathematics will take written examinations covering the three courses MA
6153, MA 6753, and MA 6933. The student must successfully complete these three courses or their equivalent
before taking the examinations. In the case of a failure in any part of the core examinations, only one reexamination
is normally allowed. A student who fails any part of the core examinations cannot apply for a reexamination until
four months from the date of the original test. Should a student fail only one of the three parts of the core
examinations, then the reexamination would be on that part only. Should a student fail two or three parts of the core
examinations, then the reexamination would be on all three parts of the core examinations. Failure on any part of the
reexamination constitutes failure on the core examinations.
The core examinations will be given by the Graduate Coordinating Committee. Regularly scheduled times for the core examinations are February and October of each year, and in June only in case they are needed for August graduation. Pass or fail will be determined by a majority vote of the Graduate Coordinating Committee. The core examinations are as follows:
