PhD in Mathematics

The Mathematics PhD helps students gain command of core subjects including measure theory and algebraic structures and prepares them to teach. Many graduates become academics, while others enter industry or government. Students can finish in five years. Advanced classes cover topology, geometry, optimization and probability in many dimensions. Written exams in abstract algebra and real analysis and an oral exam in a chosen specialty are part of the program. Faculty research spans geometry, analysis, category theory and probability, and cohorts average ten students. Applicants submit an online application with statement of purpose and personal statement, a bachelor's degree, transcripts, a resume, three recommendation letters and an application fee. GRE scores are optional but preferred, and international applicants provide TOEFL, IELTS or PTE results. Prospective students can request information from the department and review the full application steps on the official program page before applying.
