Master of Science in Mathematics - Thesis Option

Program Overview

The Master of Science thesis option is designed for candidates who wish to develop career interests related to scientific research or who intend to pursue further academic research degrees. MSc students within the Mathematics or Statistics stream are required to complete 3 credit hours of Graduate Seminar (two semesters), a minimum of 12 credit hours of approved graduate-level electives (i.e., at or above the 600 level), and a 12 credit-hour thesis (MATH 794-12 or STAT 794-12). It is expected that the electives consist of mathematically- and/or statistically-oriented courses and the thesis involves an independent investigation resulting in an original contribution to the discipline.

A maximum of 6 credit hours from independent studies can be counted towards the elective requirement. Specific details of coursework are determined by the research area undertaken by the student. The supervisory committee ensures the selection of appropriate elective courses, and may require a student to complete more than 12 elective credit hours if, for example, weaknesses in the student’s background exist (including undergraduate prerequisites for graduate courses) or if additional courses are required for professional accreditation.
Students are required to (a) make an oral presentation of the thesis proposal to the supervisory committee, (b) write an original thesis based on the research completed (in accordance with established UNBC guidelines), and (c) present a public oral defence of the thesis to the examining committee. All course requirements must have been satisfied prior to the oral defence.
