Graduate Courses Taken by Undergraduates
(Advisor Office)

With the approval of the department, undergraduates may take graduate courses, under three conditions.

  1. There are no undergraduate courses in mathematics which are more appropriate for the student's program.
  2. Prior achievement in undergraduate or graduate mathematics courses provides a clear indication of the student's ability to do well in graduate level work.
  3. Admission of the student to the graduate course is consistent with the needs and desires of the graduate program.

Application Procedure:
Students wishing to take graduate courses should consult the chair of the honors committee ( Committee on Honors and Prizes), who will verify the first two conditions. If approved by the chair of the honors committee, the application will be reviewed by the Graduate Director in consultation with the instructor responsible for the course.


Students who wish to take graduate courses should familiarize themselves with the other special opportunities available for undergraduates in the mathematics department, including the Honors Track, the Directed Reading Program, and Research Opportunities for Undergraduates. See our Undergraduate Program page for the relevant links.
