Selecting your first-year classes

Your primary goal in the first year of graduate school is to master the material in the core courses and pass the qualifying exams. You can read more about the components of the PhD program.

As an incoming graduate student, generally you should register for the following courses:

• MATH 511A (Algebra)
• MATH 523A (Real Analysis)
• MATH 534A (Topology-Geometry)

Before the start of the Fall semester you will have the opportunity to discuss the best set of courses for the first year with the Associate Head for the graduate program and other faculty and make changes as needed.

If you will be a teaching assistant you are required to register for

• MATH 597T (Professional Development Workshop in Teaching Mathematics)
