University of California, Berkeley · Berkeley, United States
About this programme
At this time, the MA in Mathematics is a simultaneous degree program only offered to students currently enrolled in a doctoral program at UC Berkeley. The doctoral student must be in good standing in their program and have a faculty adviser in the Mathematics Department who is supportive of the addition of the MA in Mathematics and agrees to supervise the MA work. Current doctoral students must apply during the regular admissions cycle for consideration for fall admission. The degree must be completed prior to or in tandem with the PhD degree. Interested students must inquire with the Mathematics Graduate Student Affairs Officer.
