The Department of Mathematics within the College of Arts and Sciences provides graduate programs culminating in an M.A. in Mathematics (with a Secondary Teacher track), a standard M.A. in Mathematics, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics. National rankings, including those from U.S. News and World Report's Best Graduate Schools, consistently place the department's Ph.D. program within the top 20 nationwide, with certain specialties like Geometry ranking among the top five. Collaborative partnerships with the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics and the Institute for Mathematical Sciences significantly strengthen the department's research and teaching objectives. Although these institutes operate independently, their faculty occasionally teach courses or advise students through the department. Ph.D. candidates may also opt to pursue the Professional Option MA degree, which alone prepares graduates for various career paths, including community college instruction.

Qualification Requirements
A. A bachelor's degree with a major in mathematics, or the equivalent.
B. Evidence that the student is likely to succeed. This must include three letters of recommendation from mathematicians (usually from present or former teachers). The breadth and depth of mathematics courses taken, and performance, in these courses will also be carefully considered.
An applicant must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00 on a 4.00 point scale.
C. Non-native speakers of English must demonstrate an adequate command of the English language, as evidenced by an acceptable score on the TOEFL examination. A paper-based score of 550, computer-based score of 213, or an iBT-based score of 90 would be considered minimally satisfactory for this purpose. The TOEFL exam will be waived only for native speakers of English or, in rare cases, for students whose previous education was conducted almost entirely in English.
D. Acceptance by both the Department of Mathematics and the Graduate School.
