UCLA Logic Center

Information for Students

Prospective graduate students interested in Mathematical Logic at UCLA should follow the application instructions on the Mathematics Department's Graduate Program webpage, and indicate logic as a field of interest on their online application. There is no need to send material to the logic center separately.

The Department's Graduate Program webpage also has general information about the graduate program. Logic students typically take Math 220ABC, Mathematical Logic and Set Theory, in their first year at UCLA. This is a year-long sequence of courses that covers the basics of model theory, proof theory, recursion theory, and set theory, and helps prepare the students for the logic qualifying exam. There is a wealth of additional, more advanced logic courses at UCLA. Current and recent course offerings are listed below, and students are also encouraged to attend the colloquia, and meetings organized by the logic center. Of course the heart of a student's progress toward the Ph.D. is research work leading to the dissertation. Students who passed their qualifying exams are encouraged to contact the logicians to set up individual reading courses, which over time will lead to advising of the student's own research.

Recent and upcoming Advanced Logic Courses that go beyond the basic graduate course Mathematical Logic and Set Theory (Math 220ABC).
