MS and PhD Programs
The holder of a bachelor’s degree from any accredited college or university is eligible for consideration for admission to our graduate program. It is normally expected that entering graduate students will possess basic competence in advanced calculus and linear algebra.
In addition to completing the online application form, all applicants are required to submit the following:
- Undergraduate and graduate transcripts from all past institutions
- Personal statement
- CV or resume
- Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are optional but preferred
- Three (3) letters of recommendation
International students for whom English is not the native language and who have not completed a baccalaureate or master’s degree program from a University where instruction was primarily done in English must submit language test scores (TOEFL, IELTS, or Pearson PTE). Please note, official language test scores must be on file by the time of application review.
GRE scores should be on file at Case Western Reserve University while applications are being considered. Letters of recommendation should originate from individuals who are able to assess the applicant’s mathematical ability.

Integrated Programs
Application to the BS/MS program must be made after completion of 75 semester hours of course work and prior to attaining senior status (completion of 90 semester hours). Generally, this means that a student will submit the application during his/her sixth semester of undergraduate enrollment and will have no fewer than two semesters of remaining BS requirements to complete. BS/MS applicants should contact Assistant Dean Claudia Anderson in Undergraduate Studies for more information. *Courses taken before formal admission into the IGS program cannot be double counted.
