How difficult is it to get a Master's degree in Engineering when you have a B.S. in Mathematics?

You would need to complete a number of prerequisites at the undergraduate level in the field that you choose. i.e. linear circuits, digital logic design, statics, dynamics ... depends on the field you choose\n\nusually people in you situation get a conditional admission to the program based on the successfully completion of a number of undergraduate level courses (at least 1 year worth)\n\nSo it depends on the field you choose and what courses you took in your undergrad. \n\nHere's an idea, why don't you go for a dual degree math & eng, most colleges will issue a 2nd degree if at least 30 credits are taken on top of the 1st... You are going to spend the time taking those subjects anyway, might as well get a degree to show for it.\n\nGood Luck

It depends on what your degree is

nothing with my degree.  Dont want to be negative if you are looking toward math but, from experience you have to do more that a BS if you want to go math.  Most people right now want a specialty and just math isnt enough.  If you dont want to teach I would recomend either staying in school for at least masters or doing another major along with math.  It looks good to have math but its tough to get started with just that.  If you want to teach you are golden.  They are hurting bad for math teachers now and you could just about get in anywhere.  I did that for a while but wasnt my cup of tea.

I did my MS in Environmental Science with an emphasis in Hydrology.\n\nThere is alot of work to be had in this field, but you really need to be able to do some serious math and physics.\n\nDegree wise, you need to do a BS in Geology and an MS in Hydrology/Hydrogeology.  I think that I would be more employable if my MS was purely in hydrogeology.

It is a very versatile degree and I have never seen a lack of job for any ME that is competent. I son it also an ME and when he decided to change jobs, he had more choices than you can imagine.\n\nIt isn't any easier or harder that any of the other engineering degrees.

It depends on what type of work you want to do. Masters degree adds on more money to your student loans but in certain fields is highly recommended. However, in some fields you could be viewed as overqualified with a Masters. \n\nI would suggest performing some informational interviews with individuals in your career of choice. Find out what they recommend. \n\nOh-A Bachelor's degree is 4 years of college and a Master's is one or two years of additional education PAST your Bachelor's.

It depends on the field you are going into.  But more then likely it is better to go straight for your Master.  It used to be just your Bachleors but now everyone has a degree but everyone doesn't have a masters.

Some school system are requiring their teachers to get a master's degree within so many years of them being hired. The difference in pay were I live is a $500 a month difference between a bachelor's and a master's. I know I could use an extra $500 a month.

I assume you are referring to Columbia University in NYC.\n\nIn answer to your question, technically, you cannot begin any PhD coursework without both the Bachelor's degree and the Master's degree in your field of study.\n\nHowever, there are many programs that consist of a combination Master's degree and Ph.D.     If you complete the Master's portion of the program successfully, you may continue on to the Ph.D.\n\nIt would be wise to ask the director of graduate studies at EACH program in which you are interested if ALL who successfully complete the Master's program are admitted into the Ph.D. program.   It is much more likely that SOME who complete the Master's degree will be allowed to continue in the Ph.D. program, but this may vary from institution to institution.

You need four years of an undergraduate degree. A Masters degree can take one or two years if you go to school full time.

Now keep in mind I am a recent college graduate...but I remember when I took Algebra 2, I struggled some...ended up with like a B (I think..hard to remember those details).  I did much better with Geometry though-so thats cool. I enjoy math though-isn't that ironic? I did very well in college though.

You need to go to a university and get a bachelor of science. Now days an associates degree just won't cut it.\n\nEven after you get a bachelors degree you're pressured to get a masters. I'm currently working on my MBA degree.\n\nhttp://www.daylon.com/mbadegree  <-- if you want more information on the MBA

It depends.  Some masters degrees involve only 36 credits of class work.  Going full time, one mightbe able to do that in a year.  Some masters degrees involve significantly more credits.  Others involve writing a masters thesis.  So these will take longer.  I'd say on average 2-3 years.

A Master's Degree is one step above a Bachelor's Degree.  It is usually achieved by one additional year of study.  You might see people with an MBA, which is Masters of Business Administration.  However, an MD is not a Master Doctor, but is viewed in the Latin way, Doctor of Medicine.

For starters contact vancouveruniversity.ca ... explain to them your situation and see what advice and/or options they offer.  There may be a minimum GPA requirement for their MS in Engineering (assuming they offer it). If they don't offer that program ask who does. I've checked their web site and they didn't have a link to graduate programs ... perhaps it's under a different link.\nI hope this info helps ...

A Bachelor's degree is usually a four to five year course of study with very few options and little room for original work. \n\nA Master's has much more flexiblity and requires more original thinking and some amount of research. The time required to complete a Master's varies with the school and the program. \n\nI went through summer sessions and finished my Bachelor's in Biological Science at Baylor in 2 1/2 years, my Master's in Applied Nuclear Science at Georgia Tech in a year and one summer semester. But that was after Viet Nam and things were easy for me then.

Most likely very, very high percentage. \nLook at it this way:\n1 in 10 go to university.\nOf that graduating class, 1 in 10 go onto Master's.\nOf that graduating class, a further 1 in 10 will go onto Ph.D studies.\n\nIf you're applying without a graduate degree, if the school even allows that, you better have extremely exceptional marks in your entire undergraduate career.
