All Ph.D. and M.S. Applied Math (AM) students are required to pass 3 qualifying exams as prescribed by the AMSC program
  • At least one exam must be in a mathematics area
  • At least one exam in an application area
  • If a participating department does not offer written Qualifying/Comprehensive exams, presentation of course grades in lieu of the exam as prescribed by the participating department may be submitted to the Graduate Committee for evaluation of pass or fail. Approved courses are listed on the Graduate websites of the participating programs. (See Course Evaluation Form). If you plan to take courses to satisfy qualifying requirements, please be sure these courses are listed on your Study Advisory Plan for approval by the Graduate Committee.
  • In some instances, some participating departments that do not give written exams will give oral examinations (with at least two examiners).
  • All exams and courses will be evaluated at the Ph.D. or Masters level.
