Graduate Program
The Graduate Program in Mathematics at UNC Charlotte is supported by a strong research faculty of international stature. Current research interests cover a wide range of applications in economics, engineering, physics, and the social sciences. Several faculty are funded in their research by external grants. Financial support is available via competitively-awarded graduate assistantships which are funded at nationally-competitive levels, with additional fellowship stipends available to highly-qualified students.

At the graduate level, the Department offers programs leading to the Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics, the M.S. degree in mathematics and the M.A. degree in mathematics education. The Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics is designed to enable its students to master a significant body of mathematics, to relate this knowledge to a coherent area of science or engineering, and to carry on fundamental research in applied mathematics at a nationally-competitive level. The M.A. degree in mathematics education provides career advancement opportunities for teachers, preparation for junior or community college teaching, or further work at the doctoral level in mathematics education. The M.S. degree in Mathematics is organized into three concentrations; the concentration in General Mathematics, the concentration in Applied Mathematics, and the concentration in Applied Statistics. The concentration in General Mathematics develops breadth and depth in the field and provides preparation for careers in industry, and teaching at junior or community colleges and for further study at the doctoral level. The concentrations in applied mathematics and in applied statistics provide advanced work in the techniques of mathematical analysis and in statistics and applied probability and their application to the problems of industry and technology.

Graduate School Admission requirements can be found at UNC Charlotte Graduate School. Additional department requirements are described in the Mathematics/Math Ed portion of this link.

Admission instructions, online application, and downloadable application forms: Domestic and International.

Important note from Grad Coordinator: Though the admission instructions for International Students recommends having international academic credentials evaluated by World Education Services (WES) as a general rule, this is not necessary for the vast majority of international students applying to the Mathematics and Statistics program, and does not in any way disadvantage an application not evaluated by WES in most cases. This especially applies to students from Canada, China, Europe, India, Japan, Mexico, the Middle East, and portions of South America. Please contact the graduate coordinator (Dr. Joel Avrin at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if you are not from these regions and/or want to be sure whether a WES evaluation would be recommended in your case.
