University of Memphis

The University of Memphis Department of Mathematical Sciences offers Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics with a concentration in Mathematics or Applied Statistics. Ph.D. students in Mathematics may specialize in many areas including applied mathematics combinatorics control theory ergodic theory functional analysis differential equations graph theory and mathematical physics. Ph.D. students in Applied Statistics may specialize in Bayesian methods bioinformatics design of experiments meta analysis statistical modeling computation and simulation. Most graduate students in the Ph.D. program are supported by our recently increased assistantships. Moreover increased stipends are possible for students with strong backgrounds and demonstrated potential for research. The average time for completion of a Ph.D. is five years and less in many cases.
