Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics
The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers courses in pure and applied mathematics leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics. The PhD program will train mathematicians for further research, high-level teaching, and industrial employment. Students will have a solid grounding in mathematics, be exposed to contemporary problems and applications, use computational tools where appropriate, and be prepared to collaborate with others. The PhD Program in Mathematics is a response to current needs and projected future needs. The presence of an energetic mathematics doctoral program has many benefits to other doctoral programs in technical fields and is of great interest to local industry. Most of our graduate Mathematics classes are offered in the evening (4:30PM or later).
The PhD program received final approval in March 2005 and we are currently accepting applications for entry into the program. General information on the program as proposed can be found on the links directly below this paragraph. Students interested in getting more information may contact the Graduate Coordinator at mathgrad@gmu.edu.
