Graduate

The Department of Mathematics offers rigorous graduate programs that combine study and research opportunities under the direction of an internationally known faculty. The Department offers an Advanced Certificate in Computational Science, and three graduate degree programs: the Master of Arts (MA) in Mathematics; the Master of Science (MS) in Computational and Applied Mathematics; and, the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

MA Program
10/19/22
As reported by the American Mathematical Society, Mathematician was the #1 rated career in CareerCast’s Job Rated 2014 report. Individuals who have demonstrated a high level of mathematical acumen by obtaining a Master's in mathematics are highly prized in both the academic and private sector job markets.
MS Program

Fellowships, Scholarships, Awards
5/2/22
Each year the Department supports approximately fifty graduate students, most as teaching assistants. Unlike many other universities, during the first three years of study teaching assistants do not teach their own classes, but instead meet with students in small recitation sections. This means that the time required for teaching duties here is generally less than the time required at other institutions.

Association for Women in Mathematics
8/22/20
Welcome to the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Chapter at the University at Buffalo! AWM is a non-profit organization founded in 1971 for the purpose of encouraging women and girls to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and promoting equal opportunity and the equal treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences.
Graduate Student Lecture Series
9/7/22
The Mathematics Graduate Student Lecture Series is hosting a webpage containing information of seminar talks for personal and communal math learning. The purpose of MATH GSLS site is to maintain and share the notes, posters, slides, and topics of the talks.
