Admission Requirements

In addition to the graduate application and official transcripts applicants must submit three letters of recommendation and a statement of purpose. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

Goals: This program is designed to train students in the formulation, analysis, and solution of mathematical models in a variety of application areas.

Administration: Upon admission to the program, each student will undergo a review process to determine competency in undergraduate core mathematical areas and background in at least one junior-level or higher course in engineering or physics. If necessary, the appropriate course(s) will be added to the required course list for the student.

Program Requirements: A minimum of 30 graduate credits, after the completion of deficiency courses, is required.
