The Mathematics Department provides graduate programs culminating in Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. Students can specialize in various advanced fields such as:

algebra, covering algebraic number theory, commutative algebra, and homological algebra
analysis, encompassing analytic number theory, approximation theory, ergodic theory, harmonic analysis, and operator algebras
applied mathematics, including mathematical finance, mathematical biology, differential equations, and dynamical systems
combinatorics and graph theory
geometry/topology, spanning differential geometry, geometric group theory, and symplectic topology
From their first year onward, students are encouraged to participate in research seminars and explore research possibilities with faculty. By the conclusion of their second semester, students must choose a supervisory committee and create a study plan outlining how to fulfill all degree requirements. A core principle of the Mathematics Department's graduate program is ensuring that every student gains substantial knowledge in at least two fundamental areas of mathematics. Accordingly, each student's background will be evaluated, and they will be guided toward suitable coursework.
