- At least one 400-level AMATH course
- Overall GPA of at least 3.6 by application date
- Approved course plan for remainder of undergrad program
AP or transfer credit is allowed for certain courses and alternative courses may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

How to Apply
Please check back in June for Autumn 2027 deadlines.
1. Review the requirements and submit the BS to MS pre-application form.
2. Once the above form and course plan has been approved by an advisor, submit your official Graduate School application by the posted deadline. Be sure to select "Applied Math: Applied & Computational (MS)." Letters of recommendation and statement of purpose are optional.
Note: If you are missing one or more of requirements #1-7 or if your pre-application is not approved, you may still be considered for admission through our general admissions process by submitting an official graduate school application and the required materials (including 3 letters of recommendation and a statement of purpose.)
We recommend submitting your BS to MS pre-application form with enough time to request letters of recommendation from faculty for the full application, if needed.
When to Apply
An official Graduate School application must be submitted by the posted deadline of your senior year (January 12, 2026 for Autumn 2026 admission). Late applications will not be accepted, even if you meet the admissions criteria. If requirements #1-7 are complete by this deadline, decisions will be announced by mid-February each year. If any coursework is in-progress or incomplete at the time of application, you will be offered conditional admission until missing coursework can be verified and you will receive a decision by July 1.
Autumn 2026 Deadlines:
BS to MS pre-application form deadline: December 30, 2025 at 5:00pm Pacific Time
Official UW Graduate School application deadline: January 12, 2026
Program Start
Your starting quarter is the first autumn quarter after you earn your BS degree (e.g. a student graduating from any quarter between Autumn 2025 - Spring 2026 will begin the graduate program Autumn 2026).
