PhD in Mathematics

Applicants must list all institutions degree-granting or non-degree granting on their application and upload transcripts from each institution. The transcripts must be uploaded in English and have the applicant's name, institution name, courses taken for credit, and grades received.

This statement should include your reasons for wanting to pursue graduate study at Tufts and within the Department of Mathematics. Discuss what makes mathematics exciting to you. In addition, please include a description of a math problem or topic that challenged you early in your undergraduate experience. Discuss how you, perhaps with the help of others, overcame those difficulties to understand the problem better and how you presently understand it. Do not be afraid to choose something from a "basic" class like calculus. Your application materials already speak to your achievements; here instead we are interested in hearing about how you have developed your interest in mathematics. Please limit your statement to 750 words or fewer.

Your current résumé or CV including dates of your educational history, employment, academic honors, scholarships, publications, and other activities should be uploaded as part of your completed application.
