PhD in Mathematics in Washington United States | Howard University

Mathematics serves as the cornerstone for cutting-edge disciplines like data science, computational healthcare, digital security, along with established domains such as economic theory, financial systems, and public policy. Our Mathematics Ph.D. program equips students with advanced research capabilities in both theoretical and practical mathematics and statistics to address complex real-world challenges.
As a Mathematics doctoral candidate at Howard's Graduate School, you'll develop comprehensive expertise in translating real-world issues across sectors including business, finance, education, and epidemiological modeling into mathematical frameworks. Our Mathematics doctoral program, like it has for countless alumni, will position you for successful careers in corporate research, academic investigation, public sector roles, or educational leadership (as university faculty, curriculum developers, or advanced mathematics instructors). The Mathematics Department at Howard maintains robust academic collaborations with premier institutions including Berkeley's Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and Ohio State University's Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI), a leading hub for interdisciplinary research bridging mathematics and life sciences.
