Description
Develop and conduct original, cutting-edge mathematical research that applies directly to real-world challenges with a Ph.D. in mathematics from Stevens. Here, you’ll enhance your expertise in mathematics foundations and complex mathematical models, and will learn how to effectively communicate that expertise through presentations and seminars.
Alongside a faculty mentor you choose from among our world-class experts, you’ll produce a dissertation that develops a significant result in mathematics, and its application. You’ll graduate from the program well-prepared for careers in academia, technology industries (pharmaceuticals, insurance, financial services, etc.), scientific and management consulting companies and military and government research labs.
