- How many years does it take to pursue a PhD degree in your program?
Our students usually graduate in 4‐6 years. - Can the PhD be pursued part-time?
No, all of our students are full-time students. We do not offer a part-time option. - One of the requirements is to have knowledge of linear algebra (through the level of MATH V2020 at Columbia) and advanced calculus (through the level of MATH V1201). I studied these topics; how do I know if I meet the knowledge content requirement?
We interview our top candidates and based on the information on your transcripts and your grades, if we are not sure about what you covered in your courses we will ask you during the interview. - Can I contact faculty members to learn more about their research and hopefully gain their support?
Yes, you are more than welcome to contact faculty members and discuss your research interests with them. However, please note that all the applications are processed by a central admission committee, and individual faculty members cannot and will not guarantee admission to our program. - How do I find out which professors are taking on new students to mentor this year?
Applications are evaluated through a central admissions committee. Openings in individual faculty groups are not considered during the admissions process. Therefore, we suggest contacting the faculty members you would like to work with and asking if they are planning to take on new students. - I am interested in a specific research area. Do you have any faculty members working in this area?
Please see our faculty research interests.For more information please contact us at [email protected].
