Graduate Program

The Graduate Program in Mathematics prepares students to pursue successful careers as professional mathematicians. Students in the program are rigorously trained for a wide range of career directions which include academia, industry, government labs and the financial sector. Program requirements are based upon the premise that graduate students should have a broad exposure to graduate level mathematics combined with hands-on experience, either through research activities conducted within the department or through coordinated experiences with other departments and other partners in industry, government labs and national research institutes. The overall principle in the program is to foster independent and creative work combined with the highest degree of scholarship and academic standards.

The Department of Mathematics offers graduate studies leading to theMaster'sandPh.D.degrees featuring a broad program providing specialization in nearly all areas of contemporary mathematics, both pure and applied. Please see ourActive Research Areas.

ThePh.D. programnow offers two distinct tracks:

• Ph.D. degree in Mathematics
• Ph.D. degree in Mathematics, Interdisciplinary track

The Master's program offers several tracks designed to train students who wish to pursue professional careers in disciplines requiring mathematical expertise. These programs are extremely flexible and encourage breadth of training both inside and outside of the Mathematics Department.

We offer the followingMaster's degree tracks:

• Traditional track
• Teaching track
• Applied tracks:
  • Computational Math
  • Industrial Math
  • Math Biology
• Online Master of Science in Mathematics
• Master of Science in Data Science(in collaboration with TAMU's Statistics and Computer Science Departments)
• Master of Science in Quantitative Finance(in collaboration with TAMU's Mays Business School)

With a graduate faculty of more than 80 active researchers, our graduate program offers a student/faculty ratio of approximately 3:2, with a strong emphasis on individual mentoring and close collaboration between faculty and students.

Approximately 80% of our students havefinancial assistancefrom our program, ranging from Teaching Assistantships to special Fellowships, awarded on a competitive basis. Texas A&M University is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer. Women and minority students are especially encouraged to apply.
