APPLICATION
All graduate program applications are submitted online. Create an application here.
Please see the application checklist.
*NOTE: As of April 2021, the Department of Applied Mathematics has decided to permanently remove the GRE test (both general and subject) from our Ph.D. and Professional MS program applications.
Yes, but it is updated by Graduate Admissions as materials are submitted. If you have specific questions about whether or not the University has received your admissions materials, you may contact amgradco@colorado.edu with those questions.
Generally, applicants are notified of the graduate committee's decision by April 1. Notifications and your application status will be updated through the online application system.
Yes. All applicants are notified.
In order to update any information after your application has been submitted, you will need to contact the graduate admissions office. For domestic applicants, you can email gradprocessing@colorado.edu. For international applications, you can email intlgrad@colorado.edu.
SUPPLEMENTARY APPLICATION MATERIALS
The statement should provide relevant educational and work history and background information, such as how you became interested in the field of applied mathematics and how your background has prepared you for graduate study, as well as educational and professional goals. The personal statement is uploaded with the online application. While a resume may be included, it does not suffice as a personal statement.
Only if you are an International application and not offered funding with your acceptance. See the Tuition & Monetary Matters for International applicants page.
APPLYING
Generally, the graduate committee of the Department of Applied Mathematics does not encourage spring or summer admission, largely due to the fact that required yearlong course sequences start during the fall semester. For this reason, the department has specific application deadlines which can be found on our website.
Competition for admission to the Department of Applied Mathematics graduate program is keen, and it is highly recommended you apply by the posted deadlines for domestic and international applications. The graduate committee of the Department of Applied Mathematics reserves the right not to consider applications received past the deadline.
In the event that you are not accepted to the Ph.D. program, you will be considered for the MS program.
Yes, you must submit an application and fee for each academic program you apply to at the University. An exception is the MS with Computational Science and Engineering Track, which is strictly an add-on to a primary graduate program outside of Applied Mathematics.
No, please submit all available application materials by the deadline. Official scores sent by ETS after the deadline will be added to your application. Contact the Graduate Program Coordinator if you have a specific concern.
For your application to the graduate program, it is acceptable to upload unofficial transcripts with your application. Once you have been admitted to the university, you will need to provide official transcripts.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
No, but most graduate students enter the program with either a teaching assistantship or a research assistantship.
Please include the words FINANCIAL SUPPORT at the top of your personal statement if you are applying for the Professional Master's degree program. Doctoral candidates do not need to include this. All doctoral candidates are considered for funding and sent offers of support once admitted.
While it is not possible for the department to quote exact amounts on tuition and fees for graduate students, you can obtain an estimate using the Bill Estimator.
