Sample Program of Study


This document outlines a typical path of courses through the applied mathematics and pure mathematics PhD programs. It assumes that the student starts in the fall of academic year one with an undergraduate degree in mathematics.

The actual sequence of courses taken by any given student is likely to differ from this sequence based on individual needs, interests and when the student enters the program.
