Graduate Certificate in Applied Mathematics

Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Applied Mathematics is designed to enhance training in various aspects of applied mathematics. It is intended for students who are currently pursuing a graduate degree in a discipline outside of the Mathematics Department, or for students who wish to pursue the certificate as a stand-alone program.

Applicants must submit a graduate application online. The prerequisites for admission are:

  • Current enrollment in a KU graduate program outside the Department of Mathematics, or as a non-degree-seeking student

  • Completion of two MATH graduate courses from those listed in the Certificate Requirements, with a minimum 3.0 GPA. These courses can then count towards the 12 credits required for the certificate.

Please note: The Department ordinarily does not award GTA positions to students accepted to the Graduate Certificate program.

Non-KU graduate students wishing to pursue the certificate need to appy/enroll as a non-degree seeking graduate student, complete two MATH graduate courses listed in the Certificate Requirements, with a minimum 3.0 GPA, and then apply to the program. If admitted, those two courses could be counted towards the 12 credits required for the certificate.
