Prior PhD Degree Requirements

Applied Mathematics PhD Degree Requirements

(for students who entered the program prior to September 1, 2026)

  • Eight courses from the following nine:
    • AMATH 561, 562, 563
    • AMATH 567, 568, 569
    • AMATH 584, 585, 586
  • AMATH 600: two, 2-credit readings, each with a different faculty member, to be completed prior to the start of the student's second year.
  • Students must take a minimum of 15 numerically graded courses. At most two of these can be at the 400 level or be cross listed with courses at the 400 level. Graduate level courses previously taken at UW (e.g., during a Master's program) count toward this requirement. Graduate level courses taken outside of UW may count toward the requirement for 15 numerically graded courses with the approval of the Graduate Program Coordinator. The entire course of study of a student and all exceptions to this list must be approved by the Graduate Program Coordinator and the student’s advisor or faculty mentors.
