Any person admitted to graduate studies must hold a Bachelor's
Degree; normally the undergraduate degree must be awarded by an
institution having regional accreditation. A prospective applicant
who holds a Bachelor's Degree from an educational institution that
does not have regional accreditation may request consideration from
the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences prior to
making application for admission. In either case, the Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences may prescribe specific undergraduate
level courses as prerequisites to admission. The admission to
graduate studies is administered by the Office of Graduate
Studies.
For admission to a Master's Degree program in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, the
following are required:
- A minimum undergraduate grade point average on the last two
years of undergraduate academic work of 2.75 on a 4.00 scale.
- A minimum score of 475 paper-based total or 152 computer-based
total on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required
of international students (with some exceptions).
- In addition to the above requirements, a student is expected to
possess those qualities that, in the judgement of the departmental
graduate faculty, indicate that the applicant has the ability to do
graduate work.
- Submission of three letters of recommendation.
In addition to the admission requirements for a Master's Degree program,
admission to the Ph.D. program requires:
- Submission of a satisfactory score on the Graduate Record Examination
(GRE) General Test.
- In addition, a student is expected to possess those qualities
that, in the judgement of the departmental graduate faculty, indicate
that the applicant has the ability to do graduate work at the doctoral
level.
