During a standard two-year program, a student taking 10 credit hours
(most students take more) will have time to include several elective
courses in addition to the course work required in
§§5.2,5.7. Students are
strongly encouraged to spend a summer on an internship and to
attend seminars in applied mathematics. These elective courses,
internship, and the individual project (see §5.7)
should be unified to form an effective combination in a particular
specialty of interest to each student.
