Areas of Study

Students seeking a degree in the Mathematical Sciences may specialize in Mathematics, Statistics or Applied Mathematics. Each option allows some flexibility in electives so that students can better adapt their degree plans to their educational goals.

Masters

Graduate students may select from five majors: applied mathematics, engineering mathematics, mathematics, statistics, and an interdisplanary degree in Bioinformatics and Computational biology. The department also offers courses that consider mathematical and computational aspects of engineering, biology and other areas.

Doctorate

Students dictate each Ph.D. program with the guidance and approval of the graduate advisor. Adjustments can be made as the student’s interests develop and a specific dissertation topic is chosen.
