Application Procedure

The Graduate School-New Brunswick allows students who are current graduate degree candidates at Rutgers to earn an additional Master of Science Degree in another field:
  • PhD candidates can remain coded in their current graduate program until they complete their PhD degree, after which they must be recoded as students in the program, MS Mathematics with Option in Mathematical Finance (16643).
  • MS candidates can remain coded in their current graduate program until they complete their current MS degree or take 12 credits to be counted towards the MS Mathematics with Option in Mathematical Finance, whichever comes first: after this point, they must be recoded as students in the program, MS Mathematics with Option in Mathematical Finance (16643).
Current Rutgers graduate students (in any field) who wish to earn a Master of Science in Mathematics with Option in Mathematical Finance as a second degree should
  • Have fulfilled the program prerequisites.
