The graduate faculty of Rutgers-New Brunswick offers a variety of degree programs for students interested in the Mathematical Sciences. Some of these are offered by the Mathematics faculty, while others are operated by other units of the university.
Degree Programs offered by the Graduate Faculty in Mathematics
- Ph.D. in Mathematics
This is a rigorous program in Mathematics consisting of extensive course work and original research in one of the department's many fields of expertise leading to a dissertation. The program is typically completed in five or six years. Applicants to the program should have a strong undergraduate background in Mathematics. - M.S. in Mathematics - Traditional option
The faculty of mathematics also offers a "traditional" Masters in Mathematics degree.
Further information for prospective students: M.S. - Traditional option. - Non-degree study in Mathematics
Admission to non-degree study allows a student to take graduate courses without being in a degree program. The standard limit for non-degree study is 6 credits per semester and 12 credits in total.
Further information for prospective students: Non-degree study.
