Admission requirements
Admission requirements for the Mathematics Program are the same as the university admission requirements. Applications can be downloaded from the UH Admissions Web Site.

Mathematics students must have overall GPAs of at least 2.0. Students whose GPAs in mathematics courses fall below 2.5 may be advised to consider changing majors.

Students who do not initially declare mathematics as their major must submit a petition to the Department of Mathematics if they decide later to change their major to mathematics.
