Notes:
- There is no difference in the admission process between the Ph.D. Programs in Mathematics and in Applied Mathematics.
Students interested in a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics should simply apply to the Ph.D. Program.
- An application for admission to the Ph.D. program is automatically regarded as an application for financial support.
The same is true of the M.S. Program with Emphasis in Math Education, with some partial financial support. Support is normally not available for the Masters Program in Industrial Math and for the Master of Financial Mathematics (MFM) Program.
- The Master of Financial Mathematics (MFM) is a completely separate program from the other graduate programs in the School of
Mathematics, and it has a completely separate application process. See the MFM Online Application for Financial Mathematics.
TIMELINE FOR DECISION-MAKING ABOUT APPLICATIONS:
We typically make our offers in March. Please note
that all major US universities are signers of the
April 15 resolution. Signers of this resolution agree that no offer should require a response before 15 April, and we therefore encourage our applicants to wait until at least 15 March before making decisions.
All applicants should receive notification of a final decision by 25 June, but, if you have not received an offer of admission by
20 April, then please be aware that it is very unlikely that we will be able to make one.
Please feel free to write to us at any time if you have questions, at gradprog@math.umn.edu.
