B.Sc/M.Sc (Thesis) track:听www.mcgill.ca/science/student/bsc-msc
听
This is an option designed in the first place for students who complete an honours program in our Department, with the intention that they should be able to complete a strong master's program within one year.听Students from other programs and other universities may also be eligible for such an accelerated stream (see the remark at the end of the document for further details).
听
This option is open to students who
- have taken at least 3 graduate level courses in mathematics or statistics at the 500 level as undergraduates;
- have clearly demonstrated their academic excellence (normally by a GPA above 3.75)
- have shown strong evidence of research potential (generally through their work on a summer or undergraduate research project);
- will enter our program with a clear plan for their master鈥檚 thesis research and a formal commitment from a faculty member to supervise and, if necessary, provide financial support.听
听
For UU直播 students conditional admission to this variant of the masters programs can be given at any time after the completion of U2, but should normally be considered on entering U3 to ensure an appropriate selection of courses.听Formal admission will be part of the regular admissions process to the masters鈥� degrees.
听
Students admitted to this stream of the masters programs have a course requirement of 4 (instead of 6) courses of at least 3 credits each.
听
In order to fulfill the credit requirements for the master鈥檚 programs students will have to register for MATH听602 (Master鈥檚 Research Preparation).
听
To satisfy residency requirements students will have to be registered for and pay for 3 successive semesters in the masters program.
听
Students admitted to this accelerated stream are normally expected to complete the program within 3 successive full time terms, typically Summer, Fall, and Winter.听They should not count on being funded beyond that period.
听
Students from Other Programs and Other Universities
Students from other programs within UU直播 and other universities may qualify for admission to an accelerated stream governed by the same rules and criteria as outlined above.听The equivalence of courses taken elsewhere to our 500 level courses听will be determined by the Graduate Program Director in consultation with instructors of similar courses at UU直播 and will require the student to provide extensive information in the form of course descriptions, assignments and examinations.听
