Admission to the department is highly competitive. Although we welcome promising students from all disciplines, entering students must have a substantial background in both mathematics and computer science. This background normally includes at least six semester courses in mathematics and six in computer science. We consider knowledge of the following subjects to be essential preparation for our graduate program: differential and integral calculus; discrete mathematics: sets, relations, functions, algebra; linear algebra or matrix theory; mathematical probability, preferably calculus-based; structured programming techniques; data structures and abstract data types; computer organization. Most entering students have studied all but two or three of the following subjects, which are required preparation for our graduate program: design and analysis of algorithms; formal languages and automata theory; databases; operating systems; compilers; digital logic techniques; numerical computing methods; programming languages; software engineering. Students who are admitted but who have not completed all the requirements must complete them after admission. Preference is given to applicants who are solidly prepared, especially in mathematics.

The majority of our graduate students receive financial support via a fellowship, Research Assistantship (RA), or Teaching Assistantship (RA). This financial support typically covers all required tuition and fees and also provides health insurance and a stipend. For more information about RA and TA stipends and benefits, please see the department’s Financial Support page. All applicants are automatically considered for financial support as specified on the deadlines page.
