Requirements

Students who have a background in math, science, or engineering are encouraged to apply. Undergraduate degrees in these areas are not required; however, applicants need to demonstrate that they are capable of success in graduate-level science and mathematics courses. Specific background requirements and prerequisites will depend on the science track to which the applicant is applying.
