How Do I Apply?

You can begin your application for the graduate degree programs online through the UW Graduate School website. The online application lets you know what materials you need to submit, and allows you to save your information before submitting.

Application Materials

Required of all applicants:

  • Upload Unofficial Transcript(s)
  • Upload Statement of Purpose - A Statement of Purpose (SOP), sometimes referred to as a personal statement, tells the admissions committees a little bit about who you are, what your academic and professional interests are, and what you will be able to add to the graduate program.  Graduate programs are demanding and a SOP should be used to demonstrate your motivation, work ethic and qualifications to complete the program.
  • Upload Resume or CV 
  • Designate Recommendations (3)
  • Pay Fee and Submit Application 
    • Application Fee Waiver Process:
      Step 1: See if you qualify for a UW Grad School application fee waiver and follow the instructions provided if so.
      Step 2: If ineligible for the above waiver, the department offers a limited number of waivers. Waivers may be granted to applicants who identify as members of underrepresented or marginalized groups. Waivers may also be granted on a need basis. If requesting a waiver for these reasons, please email amath-gpa@uw.edu to explain why you are seeking a waiver (please include your citizenship). Requests should be made at least 3 business days before the application deadline.

may be interested in the F-GAP mentoring program offered by the Math Alliance where your materials are reviewed by a faculty member. To apply for the F-GAP mentoring program a student must first become an Alliance Predoctoral Scholar.

For applicants whose native language is not English:
We strongly recommend that you review the policy and score requirements here.  Self-report English Language Proficiency Scores and request ETS send official scores using code 4854. 

All application materials, including letters of recommendation, are due by posted deadlines.  You may need to remind your letter writers of the deadline.  No hard-copy application materials should be mailed to the department!

Graduate Non-matriculated Students

Graduate Non-matriculated (GNM) status provides access to graduate courses for those who are not currently seeking a graduate degree, but who may later want to apply these credits (up to 12) toward one of our graduate degree programs. A bachelor’s degree and 3.0 GPA in your last 90 quarter (60 semester) hours are required to apply for GNM status. More information on this status is available through the Graduate School page on GNM applications. GNM status is only available for fall admissions to the online MS program.
