    Mathematics, PhD

    Program Description

    The mathematics department, in the College of Arts and Sciences, offers a PhD in a variety of areas of mathematics. The American Mathematical Society has ranked the program in the top group of U.S. research departments.

    The department has distinguished research groups in:

    Algebra
    Analysis
    Combinatorics
    Geometry
    Mathematical biology
    Number theory
    Probability
    Topology
    The department is large enough to provide the quality and breadth required for a major research department, yet small enough that graduate students have close interactions with the faculty.

    There are over 30 faculty members and approximately 65-70 graduate students each year.
