The BS-MS accelerated degree program allows undergraduate students in the Mathematics program to begin coursework towards the non-thesis option of the Master of Science in Mathematics program during their senior year at Texas A&M University-Commerce. Students can earn a B.S. and M.S. degree in five years upon completion of degree requirements for both degrees. For this accelerated program, 6 credits of graduate coursework can be applied to both the BS and MS degrees. Once admitted, the BS/MS candidate must maintain a 3.25 Undergraduate GPA. In the final semester of the student’s undergraduate program, a new online Apply Texas Application for the master’s Accelerated program must be submitted to gain admission and continue taking classes to complete the master’s program.

The MS degree in Mathematics with a concentration in mathematics education is to prepare students to teach math courses at middle/high schools and institutions of higher education at the undergraduate level. Students will take 9-15 graduate hours in Math Teacher Education (MTE) in order to learn and understand the Principles and Standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and high impact teaching practices.
