At the time of admission, students will be assigned a preliminary advisor to assist them in developing a course of study consistent with their specific goals, and monitor their progress until they can formally establish their own advisory committee before the end of the first year.

Students typically organize their program of study within one of three broad areas:

• Applied Mathematics: In addition to advanced linear algebra and four semesters of analysis, students can take courses in partial differential equations and mathematical modeling.
• Pure Mathematics: We offer yearlong sequences in real analysis, complex analysis, topology, and algebra.
• Statistics: Students may take a full year of graduate level mathematical statistics, and courses in stochastic systems and linear statistical models.
