These letters should come from the professors who've taught your more advanced undergraduate courses or who you've had a research experience with. Letters from faculty who you've had for courses such as real analysis, abstract algebra or other advanced, proof-based courses are especially important.

It is useful for you to include a discussion of what you covered in your advanced courses, and what textbooks you used for them.

Our department has research activity in algebraic geometry, analysis, partial differential equations, numerical analysis, representation theory, optics, geometry, combinatorics, probability and mathematical biology. You should examine the research areas of our faculty for more details. We currently do not have any faculty doing research in statistics.

If you cannot enroll as an undergraduate, you may apply to take graduate courses as a non-matriculated student in the Goodwin College of Professional Studies.

No, not unless you have taken equivalent courses to those required for an undergraduate degree. Generally, this includes courses beyond the standard two years of calculus, a term of linear algebra, and such courses as real analysis, abstract algebra, complex variables, differential equations, and probability and statistics.

Please see the policy on the Provost's webpage for their time completion requirements.

Sometimes, but summer teaching positions cannot be guaranteed since the number of courses being offered is variable.

No, the admissions process is confidential. While we do understand that it might be helpful for you to know what led to our decision, you should bear in mind that a policy in which we did give such information could compromise the confidentiality of your letter writers.
