The Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides graduate programs including an M.S. in Applied Mathematics (thesis or non-thesis options), a Master of Science for Teachers degree, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics. Students can specialize their M.S. in Applied Mathematics with either a mathematics or statistics focus, while the Ph.D. offers concentrations in mathematics, computational and applied mathematics, or statistics. While earning an M.S. is advised before pursuing a Ph.D., it's not mandatory. Those entering the doctoral program without a master's must complete at least 32 graduate credit hours within their first two years, focusing on foundational coursework aligned with their chosen specialization. Required courses vary by emphasis: (a) mathematics students study modern algebra, analysis, statistics, and topology; (b) computational and applied mathematics candidates take real analysis, differential equations, partial differential equations, statistics, plus either complex analysis or modern algebra; and (c) statistics-focused doctoral students concentrate on linear algebra, probability, and statistical inference.
