Graduate Programs in Mathematics
Explore 500+ Mathematics graduate programs at 200+ universities across 17 countries.
Overview
Graduate mathematics develops the abstract structures and proofs behind much of science and technology. Pure mathematics covers areas such as algebra, analysis, geometry and number theory, while applied mathematics uses modeling and computation to tackle problems in physics, biology, engineering and finance.
Master's programs may be pure, applied or computational, and some are built as preparation for a doctorate. A PhD centers on original research and prepares you for academic positions as well as research roles in industry and government.
Graduates work as data scientists, quantitative analysts, actuaries, cryptographers, operations researchers and mathematics teachers. Finance, insurance, technology and defense are major employers, and demand is strong for mathematicians who can program and work with large data sets.
Most Mathematics programs charge between $15,000 and $64,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $28,000 and $94,000.
