Eligibility and application requirements
Eligibility:
Applicants must:

Admissions Exam
GRE waivers are available if the applicant has an undergraduate degree with a major in mathematics, statistics or mathematics education; and GPA of a 3.2 or higher in undergraduate mathematics and statistics courses including calculus, linear algebra, proof-writing, analysis, probability, and statistical analysis.
No exam waiver is automatic but will require review and approval by the Graduate School upon submission of a complete application. An approved waiver request does not guarantee acceptance into the program. A denied waiver request does not mean that a candidate is denied admission to the program, only that a standardized exam score is needed to more fully evaluate the application. Standardized test scores may be required for scholarship consideration.
Applicants who do not meet the criteria listed above will be required to take the official general GRE exam in accordance with Graduate School policy.
