The Department of Mathematics offers several graduate degrees, including
- a PhD in Mathematics
- a PhD in Mathematics with a Concentration in Actuarial Science and Risk Analytics
- MS degrees in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Actuarial Science, and the Teaching of Mathematics
The department won the Exemplary Program Award (2017) from the American Mathematical Society.
The department is housed largely in Altgeld Hall, a beautiful stone Romanesque building in the heart of the Illinois campus, and contains one of the world's best mathematics libraries. Doctoral students enjoy a collaborative atmosphere and a lively schedule of about twenty-five research seminars and lectures each week. A large share of our PhD students are women, and we support an active chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM). Graduate students explore multiple career paths through an innovative program of internships in science and industry.
