Masters in Math degrees without requiring bachelor's in math I did a Bachelor's in Economics, having taken several modules in statistics and econometrics and 1 in math. Now I'm very keen to do a masters in math or applied math, with the possibility to further studies in research, but am not sure which universities would admit me into their program given that most of their websites state they require a Bachelor's in math.
I am currently contacting various program administrators in different universities in the US, Europe and Singapore, but would very much appreciate help that anyone can give to help me in my search.
Does anybody know of any programs that are willing to admit students without math bachelor's, with the possibility of taking some bridging courses during/prior to the Master's program?
This is, typically, very difficult without taking courses in real analysis, numerical analysis, differential equations, and other applied mathematics topics that you won’t get in a traditional economics program.
Your chances would be, frankly, very low without proper preparation from mathematics undergraduate courses. I did an economic major with a math minor, and I am still upgrading a few courses here and there to go into an applied math PhD, but this would be similar to a masters degree because of the pre-requisites.
Take a year or two, get the background, and then you would be much more competitive. Perhaps you can illuminate what math courses, particularly, you’ve taken.
