PhD in Mathematics in Baltimore United States | Johns Hopkins University

Our PhD program aims to prepare graduate students for careers as research mathematicians. Annually, approximately five students successfully defend their dissertations and pursue rewarding opportunities in mathematics, both within and outside academic institutions. The Johns Hopkins University Mathematics Department focuses its research primarily on pure mathematics, spanning fields such as analysis, geometric analysis, algebraic geometry, number theory, differential geometry, algebraic topology, category theory, and mathematical physics. Additionally, the department maintains a vibrant data science initiative in partnership with the Applied Mathematics Department.
All PhD program admits are awarded comprehensive tuition fellowships and teaching assistantships. For the 2022-2023 academic year, teaching assistants earn $33,000, with outstanding candidates eligible for additional fellowship support. Students maintaining satisfactory academic progress typically receive funding for up to six years.
During their initial years, PhD students enroll in two to three courses each semester. These include mandatory and advanced graduate courses, independent research projects, and specialized classes taught by faculty members.
