Graduate Admissions

Deadlines

Prospective students may apply for admission for Fall semesters. The deadline for Fall 2023 admission is December 15, 2022.  We no longer have Spring admissions.  A list of current deadlines is also maintained by Georgia Tech's Graduate Studies Office.  

Applications received past the deadlines may be considered, but to receive full consideration, especially for Institute -and internal- fellowships, applications need to be submitted by the due dates.

Requirements

The basic requirements for applying to our graduate programs are as follows:

Bachelor's degree

To be eligible to apply to any of the graduate programs in the School of Mathematics a student must receive a 4 year bachelor's degree or equivalent from a recognized institution of higher learning before enrolling. The degree should be in mathematics or a related subject including at least a year of advanced mathematical study beyond calculus and beginning linear algebra.

 

GREs

Due to the evolving circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as GRE test availability and safety, the School of Math will make all GRE exams (general and subject tests) optional for Fall 2023 admissions.

 

TOEFL

International students whose native language is not English must pass a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System). Recommended TOEFL scores are at least 600 (paper based) or 250 (computer based) or 96 (internet based). The internet TOEFL based score is preferred by us, and we consider all four parts of the test. Exemption: Applicants who have been enrolled as students in the US for a year or more are exempted from taking the TOEFL / IELTS exam.

 

Application Fee

A non-refundable application fee of $75.00 must be remitted with your application. NEW: In order to promote more diversity within the PhD applicant pool, the School of Math will waive the PhD application fee for members of underrepresented groups in mathematical sciences who are US citizens or permanent residents (Green card holders). To apply for a PhD fee waiver, please send a copy of your resume or transcript to dgs@math.gatech.edu. In the message, please mention your citizenship and the aspect of your identity that is underrepresented (such as gender or racial/ethnic group). We recognize that diversity comes in many forms, and can also grant a limited number of waivers due to financial hardship. Requesting a fee waiver will have no bearing on admission decisions.
