An official transcript from the institution from which you received your bachelor degree is required, as well as a transcript from institution(s) where any graduate level courses or degrees have been taken/completed. Applicants are not required to submit an official transcript of courses taken/completed at WMU.
Students may demonstrate English proficiency in any of the following ways:
Minimum English proficiency test scores:
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL): 80 iBT graduate (WMU Institutional Code: 1902)
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic:6.5 graduate
Pearson Test of English, Academic Module (PTE): 54 graduate
International Baccalaureate, grade of 5 in English at the Higher Level
General Certificate of Education: a grade of A or B in English from one of the five British-based examining boards graduate
Successful completion of ELS level 112
Successful completion of either four years of upper secondary school or one year of full-time tertiary (university-level) education from select countries meets WMU English language proficiency requirements
Successful completion of a WMU Pathway II or the final level in the WMU Center for English Language and Culture for International Students (CELCIS)
Cambridge Advanced English Certificate: a grade of A or B graduate
SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing Subscore (EBRW): 500
Duolingo:105 graduate
Michigan English Test (MET): 57 graduate
Common European Framework of Languages (CEFR): C1 graduate.
Entering students are expected to have taken courses in calculus (including multivariate calculus and differential equations), linear algebra, advanced calculus, (calculus-based) probability or statistics, and have a working knowledge of computer programming. The courses at WMU which satisfy the admission requirements are: MATH (1220 or 1700), (1230 or 1710), 2720, 3740, 2300, 5700, STAT (3620 5600 or 3640), and CS (1070, 1110, 1120, or a CS course approved by an advisor). A promising student may be admitted with some deficiencies in these admission requirements. The missing work then become an extra program requirement.
If you would like a broad background in the mathematical sciences including statistics, differential equations, mathematical programming and computational mathematics, then consider the Master of Science in applied and computational mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at Western Michigan University.
The use of mathematical models to study practical problems is emphasized throughout the program and will prepare you for professional employment in industry or government. By carefully selecting electives, you can also be prepared for further studies in mathematics or to teach mathematics.
