🎉Upcoming Events and Deadlines🎉


Order Regalia for PhD and Master's Spring Graduates🎓
Thursday, April 10 

If you are interested in walking across the stage at commencement, you will need doctoral regalia. The Math Department will cover the cost of a gown rental for both master's and PhD graduates. You are responsible for returning the gown to the department the day of the ceremony. The department will facilitate pick up and drop off of the regalia from the UMD Bookstore. 

🗣️Seymour and Monroe Spotlight Talks Competition🏅
Tuesday, April 22 at 5:00 pm 
Colloquium Room

Speakers give 15-minute talks in which they communicate a mathematical idea or method to the general mathematical community. The talks should be aimed at the level of a general mathematical audience (i.e. an audience with some mathematical background, but not consisting of experts in the speaker's field) and should convey an idea worth sharing. Speakers can feel free to discuss their own research, but there is no requirement to do so. The talks will be judged on their content and presentation by a panel of past winners. Winners will receive $500 (subject to change).


Graduation Information Session
Friday, April 25 at 11:00am
Zoom

All MATH/STAT/AMSC graduate students (of any year in the program) are welcome to attend the graduation information session which will cover deadlines for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. The Zoom should be 30 minutes. 

Resource Reminders

Prospectus Repository

All PhD students have access to the prospectus repository to upload and view peer's prospectus papers when applying for candidacy. If you have already advanced, it would be helpful to fellow students to upload your prospectus as they prepare for their own candidacy exams.

Math Jobs Page

All students have access to the Math Job Page for internship, fellowship, and career opportunities. Please check periodically.

Find an Advisor Spreadsheet
This resource is designed to help you explore potential research advisors, whose research aligns with your interests. This spreadsheet includes information on faculty research areas, whether they are accepting students, their availability, their students' research, and more.

    "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."

    Welcome to the Graduate Department of Mathematics at the University of Maryland

    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.

    Job Opportunities for External Graduate Students

    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 Spring 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 January.
