The Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides graduate studies culminating in Master's (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in both Applied Mathematics and Statistics. Our graduate program in applied mathematics has been thriving since 1970, with statistics added as a complete program in 1984. These programs excel due to our dedicated faculty members who conduct cutting-edge research addressing real-world challenges through mathematical and statistical applications, while also exploring foundational theoretical concepts. Our faculty develops courses and curricula focused on pioneering research with practical implementations, aligning with the University System of Maryland Board of Regents' directives. The department supports PhD candidates across diverse areas of both traditional and contemporary applied mathematics and statistics. Prospective students should possess substantial mathematical and/or statistical preparation. Doctoral candidates pursue specialized advanced studies and dissertation work within departmental disciplines or interdisciplinary fields.

Qualification Requirements
Applications for the master's and the doctoral programs must be made on prescribed forms, obtainable from the Graduate School's Web site, www.gradschool.umbc.edu/admissions. Admission to the two programs, applied mathematics and statistics, are made separately and are not interchangeable. The completed application packet must include: (a) completed application forms, (b) transcripts of college and university academic records, (c) three recommendation letters, (d) Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores for the General Test, and (e) TOEFL score for international applicants whose native language is not English. All original application documents must be sent directly to the Graduate School, not the department. Requests for exemption from submitting some of the required documents may be considered if reasonable justification is given. Criteria for admission include:
A bachelor's degree with a grade point average higher than 3.0 out of 4.0
A sound background in mathematics and/or statistics
A GRE score in the 85th percentile in the quantitative section
A TOEFL score of at least 600 (paper-based test) or 250 (computer-based test) or 100 (iBT) for international students
Applicants whose backgrounds are considered deficient occasionally may be admitted on provisional basis. In such cases, the department specifies conditions in the form of courses to be completed in a specified time before a recommendation for change to regular status is made.
