Applicants are expected to have completed the following undergraduate coursework with 3.0 average GPA (on a 4.0 scale) at minimum:

• For admission to the applied track: One-semester undergraduate courses on multivariable calculus, introductory differential equations, and linear algebra as well as at least two upper-division mathematics courses on subjects such as partial differential equations, real analysis, and complex analysis. Applicants with degrees in natural sciences and engineering who don’t have substantial exposure to higher mathematics may submit a GRE mathematics subject test score.
• For admission to the pure track: One-semester undergraduate courses on multivariable calculus, introductory differential equations, and linear algebra as well as at least three upper-division mathematics courses including abstract algebra and real analysis in one and several variables.

• PhD Program - January 2: All application materials for our PhD program must be received by January 2 for Fall admission with financial considerations. 
• MA Program - April 30: Applications to our MA program shall be accepted until April 30 for Fall admission.

• Transcripts and Proof of Degree, in English, certified. Unofficial transcripts showing all coursework must be uploaded to the on-line application for review purposes. For international applicants, proof of degree conferral will need to be provided once you get here. Please bring official transcripts that show degree conferred and the date of conferral. Domestic applicants will have to have all official transcripts sent to the department that show the degree is conferred no later than three weeks prior to the start of the semester admitted. Also note that any transfer coursework transcripts used toward the degree must also be sent no later than three weeks prior to the start of the semester admitted as well.
• Personal Statement: This statement should describe your preparation (academic and related work/life experience) and motivation for graduate study. Describe academic areas of focus that you are interested in pursuing, interdisciplinary interests, career objectives and any other information that may be helpful to the admissions committee.
• Recommendation Letters: Three letters of recommendation are required. Generally the letters are from former employers or former professors. There is no set format for recommendation letters: please ask those writing to use their own school letterhead.
  
• GRE: The GRE General Score is strongly recommended but not mandatory. The GRE Subject Score is optional. The GRE Institutional Code is 2925, and the Mathematics Department Code is 0703, 0702, or 0701, only.

In addition to the above materials, all international applicants must submit the following materials: 

• Official English Language Proficiency Scores: Foreign applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit a recent English Language proficiency score. Official copies are requested to be sent to the University.  Official score minimums and requirements can be found on the UB Graduate School's proficiency requirements website.
• Financial documentation: This form is available on-line at the International Admissions webpage. 
• Visa/Passport: International applicants should note that a copy of your passport is required to process your application. If you are currently in the country, then a copy of the visa is also required.
