Admission to graduate study in computational and applied mathematics is open to qualified students holding bachelor's or master's degrees (or their equivalent) in engineering, mathematics, or the physical, biological, mathematical, or behavioral sciences. Department faculty evaluates the previous academic record and credentials of each applicant individually. For general information, check the General Announcements.
It normally takes two years to obtain a master’s and an additional two to four years for the doctoral degree.
