PhD

The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a PhD with specializations in a wide variety of areas of mathematics and statistics, including algebra, analysis, applied statistics, cryptography, differential equations, financial mathematics, mathematical bioscience, numerical analysis and probability. More details of research specialties in the department can be found on our research site.

The PhD program has two different tracks: one for general students in mathematical sciences, and; a specialized track in applied statistics. Full details of both program can be found in our graduate handbook.

Financial aid, in the form of Graduate Assistantships, is available to highly-qualified applicants. Full-time students entering the PhD program with Graduate Assistantships receive at least $15,000 for the academic year together with full tuition remission.

The PhD program at UC has a long history dating back to the award of our first PhD in 1911. Many of our PhD's move on to positions in academia, whether in small liberal arts colleges such as Elon, or in large state universities such as the University of Arizona. International students frequently return to their home country to take up positions there. Alternatively many PhD's, particularly those in applied mathematics or applied astatistics, take up positions in the commercial or governmental sectors.
