Program Overview

Introduction to the Mathematics Graduate Program

The Mathematics Graduate Program at Rutgers University offers courses of study leading to the degrees of Ph.D. and M.S. The M.S. degree has traditional options.

Program Overview

The Graduate Faculty in mathematics has about 62 active members from the Department of Mathematics, and is augmented by approximately 20 other faculty members in other departments of Rutgers University. Our faculty covers a wide range of areas of expertise.

Student Body and Support

In fall 2024, there were 85 full-time Ph.D. students in our program. We are committed to fostering success in our students. As part of that commitment, we have been able to consistently provide financial support to nearly all of our doctoral students through Teaching Assistantships, Fellowships, and Research Funds.

Research and Academic Opportunities

Supplementing about 45 graduate courses given each year are numerous weekly seminars and the Friday afternoon colloquium. In addition, each academic year, there are a number of special lecture series and conferences. Seminars in other programs such as Quantitative Biology, Computer Science, DIMACS, Physics, Statistics, and Operations Research are easily accessible and may be of interest. Regional, national, and international meetings on mathematics and closely related subjects are frequently held at Rutgers.

Location and Resources

The Mathematics Graduate Program at Rutgers is enhanced by its proximity to major academic institutions in New York and Princeton and to several industrial research laboratories in New Jersey.
