General requirements

To be admitted to the program, a student must have completed a baccalaureate degree with a 3.0 GPA over the last 60 hours of course work and have a good background in mathematics.

A student need not have majored in mathematics to be admitted. It is expected, however, that the student has completed at least 9 hours of mathematics at the junior or senior level, preferably in courses such as advanced linear algebra, analysis, differential equations, and probability and statistics.

When these requirements are not met, students may be admitted on a conditional basis and have the opportunity to acquire the necessary background.

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required for admission.
