The department offers undergraduate, graduate, and accelerated degree programs that prepare students for professional careers as well as further studies in mathematics, statistics, computer science, and other related fields.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
The department offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs in Mathematics and Bachelor of Science degree program in Applied and Computational Mathematics. The department also offers minors in Mathematics and Statistics.
Learn MoreGRADUATE PROGRAMS
The graduate program offers a Master’s degree program in Mathematics and Applied and Computational Mathematics. Some of our faculty are also members of the Center of Computational and Integrative Biology which confers Ph.D. degrees in related fields.
Learn MoreACCELERATED DEGREE PROGRAM
The Accelerated Bachelor and Master Degree program offers qualified students the opportunity to enroll in up to 3 graduate-level courses taken during their senior year. These courses count toward the ten-course requirement for the Master of Science degree. This program suits math majors interested in obtaining both bachelor and master degrees in 4+1 years.

Why Mathematics and Statistics?
Mathematics is the science of structure, order, and relation. It originated from basic human activities such as counting and measuring. Mathematics is the language of physical sciences and engineering. In more recent years, it has increasingly played a similar role in quantitative aspects of the life sciences. Statistics is the science of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting empirical data.
Mathematics and Statistics are highly interdisciplinary fields. They underpin many recent breakthroughs in computer and biological sciences, communication, and medicine.
