Program Requirements
24
credits are required in the major.
12 credits are required outside the major. 24 thesis credits are required.
This program may be completed with a minor.
Use of 4xxx courses towards program requirements is not permitted.
Language Requirement: French, German, Italian, or Russian
A minimum GPA of 3.00
is required for students to remain in good standing.
The Ph.D. requires 24 credits in mathematics core courses, 12 credits in a minor or supporting field, and 24 thesis credits. If a supporting program is chosen, it may consist partly or entirely of mathematics courses outside the student's major research area. Mathematics core courses can be passed by examination; however, students who test out are still required to complete 12 course credits in mathematics and 12 credits in a supporting program to earn a Ph.D.
The Ph.D. preliminary written examination, given twice each year, covers real analysis, complex analysis, algebra, and manifolds and topology. Students are expected to pass the exam by the end of their second year. After passing the exam and completing required coursework, students may take the preliminary oral exam, which they are expected to pass by the end of their fourth year.
Reading proficiency is required in one of the following: French, German, Italian, or Russian
