  1. WVU MathematicsPrograms and Research Website: http://www.math.wvu.edu Research interests: http://math.wvu.edu/research_interests Graduate Handbook: http://math.wvu.edu/node/364 Information: gradprog@math.wvu.edu , diamond@math.wvu.edu About 26 faculty involved with the graduate program. Currently about 45 full-time graduate students About half are from U.S., China 9, Libya 8, Saudi Arabia 3 and one each from Iran, Turkey, Ukraine

  2. Undergraduate program39 credit hours of course workThree semesters of calculus, linear algebra, introduction to abstract mathematics (18)Computation, probability/statistics (6)Choices from among algebra, topology, real analysis, differential equations, discrete mathematics, complex variables (9) Other electives (6)Comparison with JazanBSc program

  3. Programs: M.S. program requires about 30 credits past bachelor’s degreePh.D. program requires about 24 credits past M.S. degree (exclusive of research hours)Estimated time to completion: M.S. 2 yearsPh.D. 4-5 yearsImportant exams: 1) Twice-yearly exams given in Algebra, Analysis, Topology, Differential Equations, at the Masters level. These serve as exit exams for the main M.S. options, and as the Ph.D. entrance exam. Students must achieve an appropriate pass level on two of these exams.2) For Ph.D. students, the Qualifying Exam is generally taken in the third year of study, after the major area course work is complete.Recent courses offered: https://star.wvu.edu/pls/starprod/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_schedCourse descriptions: http://math.wvu.edu/courses-view

  4. Application for admissionBeginning either degree program in the fall is highly preferableApply through the online portal: http://grad.wvu.eduSend official copies of documents to the Admissions OfficeRecommendations can be submitted onlineIf you need advice, email me scanned copiesTo fully process an application and obtain student visa ~ 3 months

  5. Entrance requirements:For M.S. standard undergraduate mathematics program is fine At least Three semesters calculus Linear algebra Differential Equations Real Analysis Algebraare the preferred prerequisites.For Ph.D. a masters degree in mathematics (or its equivalent) is required.
