Degrees & Programs

The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a wide variety of Undergraduate and Graduate Degree options.

Math Placement Assessment information can be found here.

Mathematics Undergraduate Programs

The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers a major leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mathematics. 

The major in mathematics under the BA degree program will be suitable for students interested in liberal arts, and the BS degree program will be suitable for students interested in more in-depth focus on mathematics. 

To add a second major in math, you will need to complete the registrar's add a major form. 

Choosing a math minor to pair with your major is a great way to enhance your course of study and set yourself apart in the job market once you graduate.

Students who are not in an undergraduate program – for example, non-matriculated students and graduate students – can complete a certificate in mathematics. The math certificate has the same credit hour and course requirements as the math minor. To apply, please follow these steps:

  1. Review the admission requirements
  2. Contact the Undergraduate Program Director at bishopac@ucmail.uc.edu . Do this early to avoid delay in obtaining your certificate.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers the opportunity for students to complete both the BA or BS in Mathematical Sciences and the MS in either Mathematical Sciences or Statistics in a five-year period. Learn about the academic requirements and application instructions.

Mathematics Graduate Programs

The MS in Mathematical Sciences program is a three-semester course of study that deepens students’ expertise in advanced mathematics with concentrations in pure, applied, or financial mathematics. Graduates from this program are well-equipped for careers in mathematical science or further doctoral study.

Learn more about the MS in Mathematical Sciences program.

The PhD in Mathematical Sciences develops braod knowledge across mathematical disciplines, and culminates in original mathematical research. Graduates from this program are well-equipped to be professional mathematicians in both academia and industry.
