Applied Math undergrad to pure math grad school?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Students pursuing a graduate degree in pure mathematics can successfully transition from an undergraduate program in applied mathematics, particularly at Georgia Tech. Despite the absence of a pure mathematics degree, Georgia Tech offers ample coursework in pure mathematics, allowing students to fulfill the necessary requirements. Completing additional applied courses alongside pure math classes does not hinder admission to graduate programs in pure mathematics. This pathway is validated by the institution's strong reputation in mathematics within Georgia.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of applied mathematics concepts
  • Familiarity with pure mathematics coursework
  • Knowledge of graduate school admission requirements
  • Awareness of Georgia Tech's mathematics program structure
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Georgia Tech's mathematics course offerings
  • Explore graduate programs in pure mathematics
  • Investigate the differences between applied and pure mathematics
  • Review admission criteria for pure mathematics graduate schools
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students in applied mathematics, prospective graduate students in pure mathematics, academic advisors, and anyone considering the transition from applied to pure mathematics studies.

The best instate college in my state for mathematics is Georgia Tech. However, it does not have a pure mathematics degree. Can I still go to grad school for pure mathematics as an applied math major? Will it prepare me for pure mathematics?

The name of the degree doesn't really matter, just the courses, and Georgia Tech has plenty of courses in pure mathematics. You can essentially complete a pure math degree there, you just have to take a few extra applied courses on the side.
 
GaTech is the best college in GA for mathematics,and having an undergrad in applied won't stop you from going to grad school for pure.
 
Thanks guys! It relieved me of some anxiety.
