Personal Statement
Describe career and dissertation research interests, along with qualifications for study in this program. Please include an explicit statement in the statement of purpose of how the differential and integral calculus prerequisite has been met or will be met. Ordinarily, we expect grades of 'B' or better in two undergraduate calculus courses. However, we will consider applications from students who have had one undergraduate calculus course if a second course will be taken in the Summer semester preceding the fall semester in which the applicant hopes to begin graduate work. In this case, an acceptance decision may be contingent upon satisfactory completion of the second course in the Summer semester. Please also state whether a research assistant position is desired. Identify relevant qualifications, skills, and/or prior experience. Please note, we cannot guarantee that all accepted students who want research assistantships will be offered them.
Assistantship application (optional - you may upload a blank document, if you do not intend to apply for assistance)
GRE For the Graduate School, the minimum acceptable TOEFL score is 550 (paper-based) 213 (computer-based), or 79 (internet-based). The minimum IELTS score is 6.5
An overall grade point average of 2.75 on undergraduate work and 3.00 on all graduate work is required by the Graduate School.
