FAQs
We believe our program offers an exciting and challenging educational
experience which cuts across traditional disciplinary boundaries. After
satisfying preliminary program requirements, students may design a program
which integrates the mathematical, statistical, and decision sciences
and apply these skills to the analysis of ecological or resource management
systems.
The following items are taken into consideration when applications are reviewed
by the QERM Faculty Review Committee:
- Minimum GPA of 3.00 in last 60 semester or last 90 quarter credits.
- Entering students have generally completed college-level courses in
probability and mathematical statistics, linear algebra, and differential
equations. Students entering the program with little or no statistical
background are advised to take additional coursework during their first
year of study for preparation in this area.
- Scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Our more competitive
applicants generally score above the 75th percentile in the
verbal and analytic sections, and above the 85th percentile in the quantitative
section.
- Minimum TOEFL score of 580 (237 for computer based tests - for international
students only).
- Evidence of knowledge of the intended area of study including clearly-written
statement of objectives.
- Recommendation from persons who are familiar with the applicant's
academic ability and potential.
- Admission also depends upon program resources and fit between student
interests and faculty research. It is recommended that you explore the
faculty
research interests site to determine that your area of research
interest is being conducted at the University of Washington.
Funding
QERM provides funding for the first year of study, consisting of a monthly
stipend and tuition waiver. After the first year, students are responsible
for securing their own funding, typically through a research or teaching
assistantship on-campus.
