PhD in Applied Mathematics

The PhD in Applied Mathematics prepares students for a growing field with career paths in analysis, logistics and other roles at technology and industry employers. Students gain knowledge in mathematics, scientific computing and industry-adjacent specialties through a rigorous curriculum with small classes. Core topics include mathematical modeling, numerical methods for differential equations, stochastic processes applied to biology, and Bayesian computing. Students combine research with coursework in interdisciplinary projects, and faculty provide guidance throughout the program. Small classes allow individualized attention within an inclusive environment. Graduates have pursued roles at large technology companies and financial firms. The program typically takes approximately five years, and graduates bring practical knowledge and research experience into analysis, logistics and scientific computing roles across many sectors and industries.
