The standard (Option 1) Ph.D. program develops experts in mathematical research. Our department provides specialized training in various fields including algebra, mathematical analysis (covering real, complex, and functional analysis), applied mathematics (encompassing biomathematics and differential equations), combinatorics & optimization, computer science (in collaboration with the CS department), and topology.

Our alternative (Option 2) Ph.D. program focuses on training future college mathematics instructors and broad mathematics practitioners. This path prioritizes wider course coverage over deep specialization compared to the standard program. Students can choose to concentrate on mathematics education within this option.
