Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics

Entry requirements for 維吉尼亞理工學院暨州立大學

To be admitted to the graduate program a formal application must be submitted to the Graduate School. Online applications are required and can be completed following the link below:

Online Application
Note that a complete application requires 3 letters of recommendation, GRE scores (only the General Test is required), complete official transcripts of all college/university study, a non-refundable $65 application fee, and TOEFL scores for international students. Your application materials will be collected into a packet or dossier. A committee of experienced mathematics faculty will review the application packets, looking for those that have the greatest potential for success, and whose expressed goals are consistent with our programs. All the materials in your application will be considered. Strong academic performance in the past certainly strengthens an application. However other considerations (evidence of strong focus and motivation or relevant work experience) can compensate for a somewhat weaker academic record. Your overall grade point average may not be as important as how thorough your prior mathematics and related subject preparation is. Thus, GRE subject test scores, recommendation letters that specifically address competence in advanced mathematical courses and/or contributions during research experiences, or documented use of mathematical reasoning in work experiences can aid the graduate admissions committee in making their decisions. There is no simple formula that identifies the applications that will be accepted. We rely on the judgment and experience of the reviewing faculty. If we accept your application you will receive a letter from the department describing any offer of financial support that we can make. Once a decision is reached on an application, the Graduate School will notify the applicant.
Students who have not previously completed a graduate degree program are admitted into the Master's Degree program, not directly into the Doctoral Program. Those who desire to continue into the Doctoral Program may apply for that in their second year. The Master's program is structured so that normal progress toward doctoral studies will satisfy the requirements of a (nonthesis) Master's degree by the end of the second year. Students who have previously completed a graduate degree may be admitted directly into the doctoral program. A reasonable amount of graduate work completed at other institutions can be transferred toward your Ph.D. here, provided it is approved by your advisory committee (and was completed with grades of B or better).
For admission in Fall 2019, we expect a minimum TOEFL score of 90 (IBT) or IELTS score of 6.5 for admission. Further, TOEFL scores of 20 or greater in Listening, Writing, Speaking, and Reading subsections are required. Some departments may require higher minimum scores.
