Website Update - Applications Open F24

Application

The WSU Department of Mathematics & Statistics is now accepting applications for Spring 2024, with preference for PhD Statistical Science applicants. Other applicants for the PhD Mathematics program or MS programs may be considered for admission, but there is a smaller likelihood of funding being available for these degree options.

The deadline for Spring 2024 consideration is September 10th. We encourage you to apply now at https://gradschool.wsu.edu/apply/.

Applicants to all degree options starting Fall 2024 will be considered for assistantship positions, which come with a tuition waiver and stipend. The application will open in September, and the deadline to apply for Fall 2024 is January 10th, 2024. There is no separate application for assistantship positions.

The GRE is not required. There are no application fee waivers available.
