Graduate Studies

Program Information

The department of Mathematics & Statistics offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts (Math), Master of Science (Math), Applied Statistics Masters,  Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) (Math), Master of Science in Teaching (MST) (Math), and the doctor of philosophy in Mathematics. 

The Statistics program also offers a Graduate Minor in Statistics. Find information about a Graduate Minor in Statistics here.

The requirements for these degrees reflect our belief that mathematicians should have a broad foundation in core areas of algebra, analysis, and applied mathematics, as well as the experience of a more intensive investigation of a specialized area. We provide this within a flexible structure that recognizes the individual interests and varied backgrounds of our students.

Graduate Assistantships

Assistantships include a full tuition and fee waiver (up to 9 credit hours), a monthly living stipend, and health insurance. Ph.D. students normally receive a higher stipend than master’s students.

Teaching assistants teach or assist with the teaching of an undergraduate course each semester.

Students may also compete for research assistantships, provided that their interests align with an externally funded research project. Summer support is not guaranteed but is usually available through teaching and research opportunities.

Renewal of funding and continuation in the mathematics graduate program is dependent upon the student’s adequate progress towards graduation and satisfactory completion of assistantship duties.
