Mathematics & Statistics, PhD

The PhD in Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Windsor is offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, which teaches graduate courses across mathematics, statistics, probability, optimization, and actuarial science. The doctoral program builds on this coursework to give students the foundation needed to undertake original research leading to a PhD dissertation, supervised by department faculty within a small-class, accessible academic environment. Students work alongside faculty who maintain active research programs in their areas of specialization, contributing to peer-reviewed scholarship over the course of their studies. Admission requires submission of both undergraduate and master's degree transcripts, a completed Research Interest Statement Form, and a list of mathematics or statistics courses previously taken; the department reviews only complete applications. Graduates of the program are prepared for research and teaching careers in mathematics and statistics departments, as well as analytical roles in industry, government, and the actuarial and financial sectors that draw on advanced quantitative training.
