A3. Basically, 300-level mathematically or computer programming-oriented courses in other majors can be counted as two of the AMS elective courses. Even if the non-AMS courses that student wants to take have the prerequisite of AMS courses, student must get the confirmation from the AMS coordinator whether the course can be counted as one of the non-AMS elective courses or not.
A4. 1) Check the AMS requirement for the declaration of transfer/double major/minor through AMS website
(www.ams.sunykorea.ac.kr -> 'Undergraduate' -> 'Admission to the AMS
major')
2) Meet with the AMS coordinator to check your academic process.
(Office: A201, Email: younju.baek@sunykorea.ac.kr)
3) Fill out the declaration form. You may download the declaration form via AMS website.
- Transfer/double major applicants -> First Major 'AMS',
- Minor applicants -> Second Major 'AMS', Current First Major 'TSM/ CSE/ BUS/ MEC')
4) Get the signature from the Chair of AMS Department, Dr. Myoungshic Jhun.
5) Submit the approved form to the AMS coordinator.
A5-1. AMS 475 is the Undergraduate Teaching Practicum course to assist the faculty in teaching by conducting recitation or laboratory sections that supplement a lecture course. If this is the first time enrolling in the Teaching Practicum course, students should enroll in AMS 475, and if it is the second time, students should enroll in AMS 476.
As per the Undergraduate Bulletin, no more than 6 credits earned through teaching practicum course may apply toward the bachelor's degree, including the other departments' 475/476 courses.
A5-2. The AMS Department usually recruit new TA at the end of the semester. If you want to apply for AMS TA, please contact the Chair of AMS Department.
Student should receive at least A- in the course that you want to apply for.
A5-3. SUNY Korea Registrar Team will request for the permission for the students who have selected as TA to the SBU Registrar Office. Once the permission is given to the students, the students will get a message from their SOLAR account that they have received the permission to enroll in AMS 475.
Then, students will be able to enroll in AMS 475 or AMS 476 through their SOLAR account.
A6. 1) Meet with the instructor and discuss the topic, decide the meeting hours & credits, and receive the approval signature on the form.
2) Get the permission form from AMS coordinator and get the signature from the instructor.
3) Submit the approved form to the AMS coordinator.
4) Once the permission is given by the SBU AMS Department, student will receive a message through their SOLAR account. Then, s/he will be able to enroll in the course.
A7. The requirement of visiting Stony Brook University is to complete AMS 261, AMS 301, and AMS 310 in SUNY Korea Songdo Campus. Students can only visit Stony Brook University in Fall semester and they are required to stay in Stony Brook University for one academic year (Fall - Spring).
A8. Yes, undergraduate students are able to take graduate courses if they submit the approved form.
1) Download the application form through AMS website.
2) Meet with the course instructor and get the approved signature.
3) Submit it to the AMS coordinator to process it.
** Please make sure to check the box that indicates "I am not enrolled in an accelerated degree program nor have │ been accepted for graduate study at Stony Brook. to apply as an undergraduate student.
A9-1. The accelerated Bachelor of Science-Master of Science allows a student to earn the BS and MS degrees in five years. Only 114 undergraduate credits are required along with 30 graduate credits. In the second half of the senior year, a BS-MS student begins his/her graduate studies. Further, in the first half of the senior year, a BS-MS student may take up to two graduate courses (that will count towards the MS degree), and while a graduate student, he/she may take additional needed undergraduate courses. The advantage of the accelerated program is that the MS degree can be earned in less time since the Applied Mathematics and Statistics MS degree requires three to four semesters of study after completion of a bachelor's degree.
You may find the detailed information on SBU AMS website:
https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/ams/undergraduate/programs/accelerated.php
A9-2. An Applied Mathematics and Statistics major may apply at the end of the junior year for admission to the Accelerated BS/MS Program. The requirements for applying to the Accelerate BS/MS Program are shown below:
1) An overall GPA of 3.3
2) Major GPA of 3.5 higher, and have completed at least 3 upper division courses in addition to AMS 301 and AMS 310
3) Highly recommended courses
- AMS 311 for the Statistics and Operations Research tracks
- AMS 361 for the Computational Applied Math track
- AMS 333 for the Computational Biology track
4) Transcript
5) Statement of purpose
6) Two letters of recommendation
