PhD Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences at University of Iowa

Programme overview

The PhD program in applied mathematical and computational sciences is broadly based and interdisciplinary. It is designed to help students achieve a command of applied mathematical techniques and computational tools and obtain basic knowledge in another area (e.g., in physics, engineering, operations research, chemistry, computer science, economics, statistics, geography, or in the biological, medical, or social sciences). The program is flexible; students can concentrate on applied mathematics areas, such as differential equations and numerical analysis, or on other applicable techniques in mathematics.

Entry requirements

Applicants must carefully follow the applied mathematical and computational sciences (AMCS) application procedures and they must meet the Graduate College Admission Requirements on the Graduate Admissions website. Those interested in applying may also view Admissions on the Graduate College website. To be prepared for graduate-level coursework in applied mathematics, applicants should have a bachelor's or master's degree with a strong mathematics or computational component. Applications for fall admission are due on Jan. 15. For more information about the academic program, contact the chair of the Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences Program. The Manual of Rules and Regulations on the Graduate College website can also provide additional information.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate and professional admission requirements, costs and deadlines are set by each degree programme; applicants apply through the Admissions Profile application and may apply to only one programme unless applying to a combined degree programme.
