have a 3.0 grade point average in the your upper division mathematics courses
have completed, within the last five years, courses on: upper division linear algebra, abstract algebra, and real analysis, all with at least a B and an average of 3.3, or
(b) have taken the GRE Mathematics subject test. Applicants' GRE Mathematics subject test scores are expected to be at least 500.
If you lack the above preparation, you may be admitted conditionally. In this case, you will become classified after meeting additional requirements as set by the Graduate Coordinator. Coursework required to achieve classified status may not be applied towards credits for the graduate program.

In addition to completing the application at Cal State Apply and sending two letters of recommendation to the Graduate Coordinator, you must also send to the appropriate admissions office your
