Graduate Program
The Mathematics Department offers several graduate degree programs: Ph.D. in Mathematics, MS in Mathematics, MS in Applied Mathematics, MS in Applied Mathematics–Actuarial Sciences, and MS in the Teaching of Mathematics. Students in the Ph.D. Program may choose a specialty from a wide range of areas of pure and applied mathematics.
The Department consists of 68 full time faculty members, 9 postdoctoral faculty and a number of visiting faculty. It is housed largely in Altgeld Hall, a massive stone Romanesque building in the heart of campus that contains one of the world's largest mathematics libraries with over 100,000 volumes and approximately 900 mathematical periodicals. There is a lively schedule of about twenty-five research seminars and lectures each week, many seminars being given by graduate students. The faculty and the 200 graduate students form a major mathematical community. About half of the students are international students and about 30 percent of the students are women.
