Doctor's degree Mathematics - Clarkson University

Doctor's degree Mathematics from Clarkson University is a Campus Ph.D Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. Ph.D. Degree in Mathematics Take at least 39 credit hours of approved course work (30 of which may be those taken for the M.S. degree) As required by University regulations, the course work must contain a minimum of fifteen hours in his/her major area, a minimum of nine hours in a minor area, and a minimum of six hours of work outside the department. Cross registered graduate level courses from other institutions are acceptable. The major area and minor area will be identified by the candidate's advisor and must be approved by the graduate committee. Have an overall grade point average of at least 3.00 in his/her course work. By the fourth semester (summer not included) every Ph.D. student must pass a Comprehensive Examination which consists of three (3) written examinations from no more than two of the following categories, and one exam must be from Category I. The choices must be approved by the student's advisor and the graduate committee. In the event that a student has not satisfied these conditions within the time limit allowed, they must petition the graduate committee in order to continue their studies. o Category I: (Pure Math) Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Sets and Topology, Algebraic Structures. o Category II: (Applied/Computational Math) Numerical Analysis, Matrix Theory and Computations, Partial Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems, Numerical Solution of Differential Equations. o Category III: (Probability and Statistics) Probability and Measure Theory, Mathematical Statistics, Applied Statistics. Category o Category IV: (Computer Science) Theory of Computation, Compilers, Algorithms, Operating Systems, Automata Theory. Acquire at least six hours of seminar credit. A seminar is a course in which the student is expected to make presentations to the class. This is in addition to the minimum of 39 credit hours of approved course work in (i) above. One hour of seminar credit may be earned by either attending a regular scheduled seminar and making one presentation, or attending all colloquia for one semester and giving one presentation at an MCS Seminar (which would be scheduled during the regular colloquium time.) Have made a formal presentation of a proposed thesis topic to his/her Thesis Committee (see part (vi)) within one year of passing his/her Comprehensive Exam (part iii). The topic must be acceptable to the committee. Write and defend (to his/her Thesis Committee) a dissertation which embodies the results of his/her original research. In association with this work, the student must obtain at least 21, but no more than 45, hours of thesis credit. The Thesis Committee consists of at least five Clarkson faculty members of whom at least one is from another department. Complete a total of 90 hours graduate credit. The satisfaction of these requirements will be certified by the Thesis Committee. View more details on Clarkson University .
