Florida State University Graduate Programs
Our unique graduate program offers MS and PhD degrees in five areas: Pure Mathematics, Applied & Computational Mathematics, Financial Mathematics, Biomathematics, and Data Science. Each area has its own distinct curriculum encompassing subjects from pure and applied mathematics, as well as subjects from other departments in the case of the interdisciplinary Financial Math, Biomath, and Data Science areas. You can learn more about each area, including information on recent alumni, on the area web pages. For a list of recent PhD graduates, visit Recent PhDs.

Our faculty is engaged in research in pure and applied mathematics, as well as in interdisciplinary applications. For a detailed list of research areas and faculty, visit Mathematical Research at FSU.

Doctoral students take the qualifier exams required by their area in the first two years as well. The third year is devoted mostly to research and preparation for the doctoral candidacy exam.
