OU Grad Student Links

27 Feb 2022

Some links that OU math grad students should know about… (updated 2023-07-31)

Start here:

OU Math Department:

• Qualifying Exams
• Program Requirements

---

After you’ve passed your quals:

• Read On Choosing a Thesis Advisor by Robert Lipshitz.

After finding an advisor and committee, you’ll have an advisory conference:

• Steps to Degree outlines the post-quals process.
• Grad Bulletin with official guidance from the Grad College. This has all of the links you need.
• Grad College Forms, also with links for submitting forms.
• A degree checklist can be found on the forms page above, but you should reference the math department site for a full list of requirements.
• Ralf Schmidt’s site is very outdated, but has some useful department-specific information.

These links should also serve as the starting point for generals and beyond.

For the dissertation defense, there is also a memo on mzone.
