Graduate Program in Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics at Northeastern University is internationally known for its mathematical research and education. The graduate programs offer MS and PhD degrees in Mathematics, as well as an MS degree in Operations Research (in conjunction with the MIME department), and an MS degree in Applied Mathematics. Students with an MA or MS degree in mathematics should apply directly to the Ph.D. program. Students without an MA or MS in mathematics, who would like to enter the Ph.D. program, should instead apply to the MS program. Once students complete their MS degree requirements they may then apply to the Ph.D. program. The majority of students who obtain an MS degree in our program continue on into the Ph.D. program and obtain the Doctorate. It is the hope and expectation that students entering our program will continue the Ph.D.

The programs are designed to provide students with a broad overview of current mathematics and a strong command of an area of specialization. Graduate students work with internationally recognized faculty in a range of research programs in both pure and applied mathematics. In addition, numerous seminars and colloquia at Northeastern and in the Boston area give students ample opportunity to learn about important recent advances in mathematics.
