The mathematics graduate program, in the Department of Mathematics, offers the degrees of Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.S.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in either pure or applied mathematics.

The Master's program is intended for those students who want a professional education in mathematics beyond the Bachelor's degree level. The Ph.D. program, in contrast, is designed for students interested in becoming professional scholars, college and university teachers, or independent workers in private, industrial, or government research institutions. Our Ph.D. program is one of six mathematics Ph.D. programs in the state public university system, and one of only two in northeast Ohio.

The mathematics program has 24 faculty, over 30 graduate students and approximately 100 undergraduate students. The department has been targeted for significant enhancement by the State of Ohio and Kent State University, and will be increasing its equipment holdings and staff in the near future.

In broad terms, the faculty areas of research lie in functional analysis and operator theory, finite groups, character theory, number theory, large scale systems of equations, numerical and scientific computation, and probability and stochastic processes.
