The Department of Mathematics provides graduate programs awarding Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in both Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. Students can choose the Computational Mathematics Concentration, which complements the applied mathematics track. Ph.D. candidates in either Mathematics or Applied Mathematics may pursue the Interdisciplinary Mathematics (MAI) Concentration, though this option isn't open to Master's students. Collaborative research initiatives with industry and government entities are actively supported. Additionally, the department offers a Certificate program. Both Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Master's degrees typically take one to two years to complete.
To be considered for admission in full graduate standing, an applicant must have a four-year bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from an accredited college or university as determined by a regional or general accrediting agency and must have at least a “B” (3.000/4.000) average in the undergraduate major or in the latest graduate degree program.
