PhD in Applied Mathematics

The Mathematics PhD at UCF offers rigorous training across pure and applied mathematics with research at its center. It is designed to develop thinkers who can discover, combine and apply advanced ideas to practical problems. Core areas include analysis, geometry, algebra, discrete and computational mathematics, probability, and financial and applied mathematics. They can specialize in topics like large-scale data and statistical theory, cryptography, or tomography and medical imaging. Because core courses and candidacy examinations are flexible, each student can shape an individual plan. Opportunities for interdisciplinary research prepare graduates for academic posts and for leadership in industry and government. The program is offered through the Sciences college.
