What are the program's admission requirements?





To be considered for admission to the Applied Financial Mathematics Program, you should meet the following criteria. Success in the admission process is not dependent on any one factor. Rather, we are looking for combinations of factors that will provide the best indicators of potential success, including grades, test scores, letters and, when appropriate, business or financial experience.

1. An earned baccalaureate degree.

2. A minimum grade point average of 3.0 in all courses of record. Alternatively, a student may present a grade point average greater than 3.0 for the last two years
of undergraduate study coupled with other evidence of competence and accomplishment. Under exceptional circumstances, a student may present an exceptionally
strong grade point average for the most recent year's study, along with compelling evidence of potential for success.

3. A personal statement from the applicant addressing his or her reasons for applying and his or her plans for the future.

4. Three letters of reference from faculty or others who can address the candidate's potential for success in the graduate program.

5. If not a native speaker of English, a TOEFL score of 550 or better.

6. Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical GRE Scores.

7. Evidence of demonstrated competence in the discipline, including but not limited to undergraduate research experience or field experience, or employment history.

8. Personal interview by a potential graduate advisor, whenever possible.
