How to Apply
Preliminary Application Form
All Applicants should complete and submit this preliminary application form; there is no charge for submitting the preapplication. Be sure to list all Math and Statistics courses you have completed and include the number of credits and your grade in each course. Also list courses you intend to take before graduating. Provide your GRE scores and international applicants need TOEFL scores. Be sure to check which program option you plan to apply for as well as the semester and year you wish to start. Indicate if you want to be considered for a Graduate Teaching Assistantship. Our graduate Program Committee will review your preapplication and let you know if you should pursue the official application process.
