The Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides graduate programs including an M.S. in Applied Mathematics (available with or without a thesis option), 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. program offers concentrations in mathematics, computational and applied mathematics, or statistics. While earning an M.S. is encouraged before pursuing a Ph.D., it is not mandatory. Those opting to enter the doctoral program directly must complete at least 32 graduate credit hours within their first two years, focusing on foundational coursework aligned with their chosen specialization. Required coursework includes: (a) modern algebra, analysis, statistics, and topology for the mathematics track; (b) real analysis, differential equations, partial differential equations, statistics, plus either complex analysis or modern algebra for computational and applied mathematics; or (c) linear algebra, probability, and statistical inference for the statistics track.
