Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the graduate program! The graduate program in mathematics offers both master’s and doctoral degrees.

The department has research groups in complex dynamical systems, discrete mathematics, difference equations, numerical PDEs and linear algebra, probability, mathematical biology, data science, and machine learning. We run regular seminars featuring visiting speakers, as well as our faculty and students.

The catalog description and requirements for the master’s program, including the pure and applied tracks, can be found here. The pure track of the master’s program is designed for students considering continuing on to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics.

When applying to the Ph.D. program (with a master’s degree), you are required to have a major professor who agrees to work with you. Please contact faculty members whose research interests align with yours. Our faculty covers multiple research areas. In addition, you can find a list of individual faculty members here. The catalog description and requirements for the Ph.D. program can be found here.

Application: The online application to the graduate school is available here and the application checklist is here. Our programs do not require GRE scores.
   Graduate school’s application fee waiver criteria.
   Additional information for international applicants.

Deadlines: The deadlines for both Master’s and doctoral programs are July 15 for Fall semester and November 15 for Spring semester.
The department has several assistantships available every year. These are awarded on the academic year (Fall-Spring) basis and the deadline for a full consideration for a teaching assistantship in our program is March 1.
