These pages are designed for the prospective student interested in the Pure Mathematics program or Mathematical Statistics graduate program at Maryland. For similar information about the Applied Mathematics & Statistics, and Scientific Computation Program, please visit the AMSC page. For similar information about the Statistical Program, please visit th STAT page.
Our graduate programs in Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Maryland offer rigorous training, a collaborative environment, and opportunities to advance your academic and professional career. Here are some reasons to consider joining us:
Learn more about our graduate programs and the application process:
"They prepared me not only for research but also for the job market. The logical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills I gained in grad school have been highly rewarding in my current position."
"Most students here are eager to help one another. My cohort is really open to collaboration—no one is ‘protective’ of their knowledge. We succeed together."

If you’re passionate about mathematics and ready to take the next step in your academic and professional journey, we encourage you to apply. Our program will provide you with the tools and skills you need to succeed both in research and in your future career.
The Department of Mathematics runs two graduate programs, the Mathematics Program (MATH) and the Mathematical Statistics Program (STAT). We are also a major participant in Applied Mathematics & Statistics, and Scientific Computation Program (AMSC).
We offer a M.A. in Statistics, M.S. in AMSC, and Ph.D. for all three programs with no prior requirement of a Master’s. At this time, we do not offer a M.A. in Mathematics as a terminal degree, but it can be awarded on the way to completing the Ph.D.
For those interested in Mathematics Education (at the K-12 level), please see the Center for Mathematics Education in the College of Education.
These web pages are mostly about the Mathematics Program, but also include many items common to all three of the MATH, AMSC, and STAT programs.

For those outside the MATH/STAT/AMSC programs, we, on rare occasion, staff external teaching assistants in the Fall semesters. We do not hire external TAs during the Spring semesters. If you are interested in applying for a Fall 2025 TAship, please fill out the interest form. There is no guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your request, nor will you likely hear from us until late August. Please direct any questions to .
