Degree Requirements

Administrative Bylaws

Both the M.S. and the Ph.D. degrees require research of an original nature. Areas of research include biology, atmospheric sciences, mechanics, solid and fluid dynamics, optimization and control, theoretical chemistry, computer and engineering sciences, mathematical physics, signal and image processing, harmonic analysis, numerical analysis and nonlinear partial differential equations. Minimum requirements for admission are a 3.0 overall grade point average, with undergraduate courses in calculus (including vector calculus), linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations. Advanced calculus (introduction to real analysis) is strongly recommended. Additional background in probability, partial differential equations, and/or numerical analysis is a plus. The program admits qualified students with a bachelor's degree in mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, economics, the life sciences and related fields.

For additional admission deadline details see How to Apply.

This program is an interdisciplinary Graduate Group.
