APPLYING FOR ADMISSION

Applications for graduate and graduate non-matriculated students are submitted electronically through the Graduate School. Once there, you will need to create a new applicant profile, select your application type (graduate or graduate non-matriculated), and choose "Applied Mathematics (MS) online" as the graduate program. You will be required to pay a nonrefundable application fee that is not credited against any other fees charged by the University. If the application fee is not received, the application will not be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

In addition, depending on student status, certain materials may have to be submitted by mail to the Applied Mathematics department and/or the Graduate School.
