The major requirements for the Ph.D. involve coursework, a Ph.D. Qualifying Examination, and a dissertation. Students are also expected to participate in RUTCOR seminars and other major RUTCOR events.

At, or prior to, the beginning of the first semester at Rutgers, the students will be tested on calculus, linear algebra, probability theory and statistics. The results will be used to advise students about courses to take, or the steps to take to correct weaknesses in their preparation for the graduate program.

Students are encouraged to discuss their course of study with any of the faculty members of RUTCOR. Students must have their registration or preregistration cards signed each semester by the Graduate Director of RUTCOR, the Associate Graduate Director, or, in their absence, by an appropriately designated faculty member.
