Graduate Studies

Why Do Your Graduate Work at URI?

The department offers both pure and applied M.S. degrees and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics. Our programs are committed to meeting the needs of both industry professionals and full-time graduate students. Research activities are mainly concentrated in the areas of Combinatorics and Graph Theory, Complex Dynamical Systems, Difference Equations, Numerical Analysis, and Applied Analysis.

For full-time students, the department has a number of teaching assistantships that pay a stipend and cover tuition, fees, and insurance (for more information, contact The Graduate Program Coordinator). Graduate students looking to become Teaching Assistants (TA’s) will receive training in teaching upon approval of the assistantship, and many TA’s will have the opportunity to teach their own course.
