Admission Requirements

Applications for admission may be made at any time. Applicants are required to submit, normally by March 15 (February 15 for Teaching Assistantships) for fall admission, the following to the Graduate School:

  1.  An application for graduate admission.

  2. Official transcripts of all college work (undergraduate and graduate).

  3.  Official scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) aptitude test. It is not necessary for applicants to take the advanced test in mathematics.  However, they  are encouraged to do so. Scores more than five years old will not be accepted.

  4. Three recommendations from individuals in professionally relevant fields.

Note that applications are acted upon as soon as they are complete.

Each applicant also must:

  1. Have a strong overall academic record and have passed, with a “B” or better average, the following undergraduate mathematics courses: an introductory calculus sequence including multivariate calculus, a course in linear algebra, and at least 15 additional semester hours of mathematics or statistics courses beyond the level of calculus.
  2. An applicant choosing the Master of Science must have had a course in calculus-based statistics and have programming experience using a structured language.

Individuals who fall below the established criterion in one of the areas may be considered for provisional admission.
