GRADUATE PROGRAMS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS
The department accomodates roughly 55 students in its graduate
program. We typically award four Ph.D. degrees and fifteen Masters
degrees each year.
In addition to the information presented below, students may wish to
examine the information
provided by the graduate school.
The Masters of Science Program
In Autumn 1998 we introduced the Professional
Masters Program designed for those students who wish to learn
skills beyond the undergraduate level that will allow them to take
advantage of job opportunities especially in the region's
technology, information and biotech industries, or proceed to
graduate schools or employment elsewhere. The department also offers
an online Master
of Science degree.
The Doctor of Philosophy Program
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Degree in
Applied Mathematics is primarily a research degree. The
granting of the degree is based on proficiency in Applied
Mathematics, and the ability to carry out an independent
investigation as demonstrated by the completion of a
doctoral dissertation. This dissertation must exhibit original
mathematical contributions in a significant area of application.
Students in the Ph.D. program can obtain an M.Sc.
degree while working towards their Ph.D. degree.
The department also participates in an interdisciplinary Ph.D.
Program in Computational Molecular
Biology involving several departments in the biological and
mathematical sciences, including Applied Mathematics.
Our recent Ph.D. graduates are working in the local computer and
biotech industry in companies such as Cray and Immunex, in U.S.
Government research at NASA, NOAA, and NCAR, and at major
universities including NYU, Michigan, and Stanford.
