Graduate work will be offered in algebra, complex and real variables, differential equations, functional analysis, geometry, mathematical education, numerical analysis, operations research, probability, statistics and topology. The Department of Mathematics offers master's degree programs in mathematics with additional emphasis in applied mathematics, computer science, mathematical education, pure mathematics, and statistics.
All students are to use either the thesis or the thesis-substitute plan.
Those students enrolled in the thesis plan must take at least six hours of MATH 5398-5698, and all except those in the computer science track must take at least three other hours of electives. Students in every degree plan must pass a final master's exam. A unique and dynamic program leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in the mathematical sciences will aim at both real and demonstrated competency on the part of the student over material from various branches of mathematical sciences. The Doctor of Philosophy degree in Mathematical Sciences provides a program of study that may be tailored to meet the needs of those interested in applied or academic careers.
