Master of Science Degrees in Mathematics without Thesis

 

The Department of Mathematics offers two programs that grant graduate degrees. One of these programs is the Master of Science degrees in Mathematics without Thesis Program. This program was designed for students who want to perform advanced work to specialize in areas needed by various industries in today’s information age.

 

 

The following prerequisites apply for the practice and completion of the Master of Science Degrees in Mathematics without ThesisProgram:

 

  • The time to complete the program is six semesters maximum. Candidates who cannot finish on time can still register in case they pay tuition fee. In such a case, their studentship is limited to participation to the classes and exams, and all other rights cease.
  • Course Requirements:
    • A student must take minimumthirty credits in total with ten courses in addition to MATH 592 Project course. Three of these courses must be chosen from the Compulsory Course Set and the rest from the Elective Course Set provided in the table below and/or from other departments with the approval of their advisor. Upon completing these courses, students who wish may also take additional courses.For students who take courses in addition to their minimum course load with the recommendation of the Department of Mathematics and the approval of the Institute Administrative Board, their grades in these courses will not be factored into their grade point average but will be included in their transcript.
    • Project course: Students must prepare their project and present it at the end of the semester. Students should register this course at the semester that the Department of Mathematics determines and they should submit their report at the end of the semester.
    • Additionally,as stated in the Çankaya University Graduate Education Regulationsin the Graduate Program without Thesis,
      • A student may takeundergraduate courses with the recommendation of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the approval of the Institute Administrative Board. However, only three of these courses at the most will be factored in when calculating the course load and graduate degree credits.
      • The student may take graduate courses at universities other than ÇankayaUniversity to be factored into the course load with the recommendation of the Academic Committee of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the approval of the Institute Administrative Board. The number of these courses cannot exceed three.
    • The Department of Mathematics appoints an advisor to each student to select courses at the latest from the first semester. The determination and registration of/to the courses are conducted by the
