The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Missouri University of Science and Technology participates in the exchange program for "Wima"/Math students from Ulm. One or two students from Ulm per year will have the possibility to study at Missouri S&T subject to the general conditions (e.g., each grade in the "Vordiplom" B or better), at least 570 points (computer based: 230; internet based: 80) in the TOEFL, TSE, GRE 600 for quantitative and a minimum of 4 for analytical writing required by Missouri S&T.

Students will have the possibility to earn a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Applied Mathematics. For this, coursework for 33 credits plus a final comprehensive examination need to be taken, or, alternatively, 30 credits plus one thesis. One class usually is three credits. It is possible to transfer up to 9 credits from classes taken at University Ulm. It is also possible to obtain a Master's in Applied Mathematics with Emphasis in Statistics. Here, one can choose among three curricula: Curriculum for Actuarial Employment, Curriculum for Industrial Employment, and Curriculum for Employment in Education. A list of courses offered can be found here. For further questions please contact M. Bohner (mathematics) or V.A. Samaranayake (statistics). It is also possible to obtain a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the department.

In general, 6 credits should be taken in courses outside of the department. Missouri S&T's School of Engineering offers every possible class related to engineering: E.g., Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and, of particular interest for "Wimas", Engineering Management. Other classes of interest for "Wimas" are offered by the departments for Computer Science, Economics, and Information Science and Technology. A course catalog for all courses offered at Missouri S&T can be found here.

Participating students from Ulm who are accepted for graduate study at Missouri S&T will be financially supported as they will be able to work as teaching assistants or graders in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. In order to be eligible for a GTA position (graduate teaching assistant) it is necessary to pass a one-week teaching course which has to be taken approximately two weeks before the beginning of the fall semester. With the training the students receive in Ulm (e.g., presenting talks in English during special seminars), it should not be a problem to pass this teaching course. However, if it is not passed, there is also a possibility for a grading position. Teaching assistants usually teach courses in College Algebra, Trigonometry, or Calculus with Analytic Geometry.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is located in the Historic Rolla Building. Missouri S&T is located in Rolla, a town of approximately 20,000. Compared to the other places participating in the exchange program, this location is by far the one with the lowest cost of living: A three bedroom house is usually available for a rent of $350-$450. Saint Louis is 100 miles away, but directly connected with Rolla via the Interstate 44, which is part of the Historic Route 66. Lambert St. Louis International Airport is the closest airport to Rolla, and it takes about 90 minutes to get there. As St. Louis is in the center of the United States, it does not take long to fly from there to any destination within the US. Other bigger cities, that are reached easily by car, are e.g., Chicago (about 5 hours), Memphis (about 4 hours), or Indianapolis (about 4 hours). Rolla itself is located in the middle of the state of Missouri, which is part of the so-called "Midwest" of the United States. Rolla was elected One of the Top 100 U.S. Small Towns, and the so-called Ozark Heritage Region offers a variety of recreational possibilities. Hermann, MO is a nice little town at the Missouri River, featuring wineries and an annual Oktoberfest, and it was founded by German Settlers in 1836. The capital of Missouri is Jefferson City, which is connected with Rolla via Highway 63, as well as Columbia, site of the oldest university west of the Mississippi, the University of Missouri-Columbia. The other two campuses of the University of Missouri System are the University of Missouri-St. Louis and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
