Doctoral Program in Mathematics

The Ph.D. degree in mathematics is awarded in any of the department's main areas of mathematics research, which include analysis, applied mathematics, biomathematics, combinatorics and discrete mathematics, differential geometry and its applications to computer vision, matrix and operator theory, numerical analysis, and number theory. The degree recipient must demonstrate scholastic breadth as well as making a contribution to scientific advancement in their chosen field.

Requirements of the program include course requirements, qualifying and candidacy examinations, completion of a research proposal, and successful completion of a publishable Ph.D. thesis.

At least 90 credits of graduate-level work must be completed for the Ph.D.
degree. This total includes coursework required for the Master of Science Program in Mathematics. The balance is made up of more advanced special topics courses and research credits.
