The Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to
the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in mathematics and in applied
mathematics. Students may opt for the concentration in computational mathematics, which is
attached to the program in applied mathematics. The Concentration in
Interdisciplinary Mathematics (MAI) is available to Ph.D. students in either
Mathematics or Applied Mathematics. It is not available to Masters Students. Through the Center for Research in
Scientific Computation, which is housed in the Department of Mathematics, students may
participate in the industrial applied mathematics program, a program of joint research
endeavors with industrial and governmental partners.
Admissions Requirements: Applicants for admission should have an
undergraduate or Master's degree in mathematics or the equivalent. This should include
courses in advanced calculus, modern algebra and linear algebra. Applicants with degrees
in other subjects may be admitted but may be required to take certain undergraduate
courses in mathematics without receiving graduate credit. The
GRE Subject Test in Mathematics is not required but a good score can be a
positive factor in admission.
Master of Science Requirements: The M.S. degree requires a minimum
of 30 credit hours. In addition to course requirements (27 credit
hours), the
M.S. degree requires a written Master's project for 3 hours credit.
Ph.D. Requirements: The Ph.D. requires a minimum of 72 credit
hours. A student will typically take 50-60 semester hours of
course credits for the Ph.D. These courses include one semester of modern algebra and one
semester of mathematical analysis. The written preliminary examination consists of
examinations in three areas of mathematics. These are chosen by the student from
14 possibilities. The
research dissertation should represent a substantial contribution to an area of
mathematics or its applications.
Student Financial Support: Teaching assistantships and some research
assistantships are available. Teaching assistants benefit from a structured program of
training in university-level teaching.
Other Information: The Department of Mathematics has a large
number of workstations devoted exclusively to its graduate students.
