The Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics (AIM) graduate program, housed within the Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan, offers both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees under the administrative oversight of the Department of Mathematics. Utilize the top navigation menu to explore details regarding the AIM Program's objectives and background, academic requirements, as well as materials tailored for existing students, applicants, and faculty. The AIM Ph.D. Program enables participants to pursue cross-disciplinary studies that combine mathematical approaches with fields like engineering, natural sciences, or social sciences (including areas such as biology, economics, and more).
Two types of students are generally considered for admission to the AIM Ph.D. program:
Mathematics majors, with excellent grades in mathematics courses, outstanding GRE scores in the mathematics subject test, and excellent letters of recommendation. The admissions committee will also take into account other scholarly activities such as summer research experience, published papers, or courses in other fields.
Non-mathematics majors from the physical, life, or engineering sciences, or from other appropriate areas of study. Such students are expected to have completed at least two upper division mathematics courses, and/or have substantial exposure to mathematics in other courses, and are strongly advised to submit a GRE subject test score for an exam in the major field (in addition to the required GRE mathematics subject test). Other experience in working with mathematics (for instance, summer research positions) will also be taken into account, as well as grade point average and letters of recommendation.
The GRE Rescaled Mathematics Subject Test is required for admission to the AIM Ph.D. program. Applicants not majoring in mathematics should seriously consider submitting in addition scores from a GRE subject test in their major area.
