About the course

The regular (Option 1) Ph.D. program, prepares research specialists in the mathematical sciences.

　　Our non-traditional (Option 2) Ph.D. program, prepares college mathematics teachers and other general practitioners of mathematics. It emphasizes greater breadth in course work and less specialization than in the regular program. An emphasis in mathematics education is available under this option.
