PhD - Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics

Southern Illinois University - Carbondale

The Department of Mathematics offers graduate degree programs leading to the Master of Arts or Master of Science degree in mathematics and the Doctor of Philosophy degree in mathematics. Students in the master’s program can choose from a rich assortment of courses in both pure and applied mathematics and statistics. Each master’s degree candidate works closely with a professor in writing a research paper in an area of interest to the student. A double major at the master’s level between mathematics and a related discipline is also an option. At the doctoral level, a student may specialize in any one of a large number of fields such as algebra, applied mathematics, combinatorics, computational mathematics, control theory, differential equations, geometry, numerical analysis, probability, or statistics. Interdisciplinary programs are also available.
