PhD in Mathematics in Provo United States | Brigham Young University

The Mathematics Department has around thirty-five graduate students, primarily funded through teaching assistantships. These assistantships cover tuition costs and provide a stipend in exchange for teaching support in service courses. Earning a PhD typically takes four years after completing a master's degree. Dissertation topics can be selected from faculty expertise areas such as applied mathematics, algebraic geometry, dynamical systems, number theory, topology (both geometric and low-dimensional), mathematical biology, group theory, algebra, and operations research. The program equips graduates for academic careers in university teaching and research, or for fundamental research roles outside academia.

The PhD program trains students for professional paths involving university-level research and instruction, or for conducting basic research in non-university environments.
