Opportunities for graduate studies
The Department of Mathematics offers programs of instruction and research leading to master of arts, master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees with a major in mathematics. You pursue a program of study that includes pure and applicable mathematics.
The University of North Texas has an internationally recognized mathematics faculty. The department has more than 28 faculty members and approximately 60 graduate students.
Research areas include algebra, group theory, representation theory, combinatorics, topology, numerical analysis and computer methods, descriptive set theory, chaos and dynamical systems, functional analysis, image processing and pattern recognition, probability, logic and foundations, and differential equations.
The library collection in mathematical sciences has more than 18,000 volumes, and many are available electronically. Students and faculty have access to library resources via the Internet from their offices.
Admission requirements
The equivalent level of mathematics required for a UNT undergraduate mathematics major, including upper-division courses in algebra and topology, is necessary. You must also meet the admission requirements of the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies.
Degree requirements
M.A. degree
The M.A. degree requires 30 hours, 24 hours of approved course work and 6 hours of thesis. You may select a minor of 6 hours with the department's consent. In addition, you must demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language and take a final mathematics oral examination that is primarily a defense of your thesis.
M.S. degree
The M.S. degree requires 36 hours of approved course work. You must demonstrate a proficiency in computer programming equivalent to that acquired in a 6-hour introductory course and to take a final oral examination. You may select a minor of 6 hours with consent of the department, and a thesis is optional.
Ph.D. degree
The doctoral program is designed to provide you with competence in several major areas of mathematics and prepare you for intensive study and research in your area of specialization. You need to complete approximately 90 hours of graduate work in mathematics beyond the bachelor's degree. About half should be in courses numbered above 6000. You must also demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language, write a dissertation and take a final comprehensive oral examination, which is primarily a defense of the dissertation.
Financial assistance
Doctoral students are paid a stipend of $15,228 per year as teaching fellows and teach two classes per semester. Master's-level students are paid a stipend of $14,527 per year as teaching fellows and have similar duties. All graduate students may earn up to $3,400 per year by working in the Math Lab. Teaching fellows are also eligible for summer employment teaching or working in the Math Lab. Tuition and fees for full-time resident graduate students cost about $2,332 per semester. A limited number of enhanced teaching fellowships with reduced teaching responsibilities and stipends of $18,762 per year are available.
