The Department of Mathematics undergraduate program supplies the mathematical preparation necessary for students specializing in the sciences, in business administration, in engineering, and in education. We offer both the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees for Mathematics majors. Unlike most major research universities, we deliberately avoid large lecture sections (30 is a typical class size) and have created a number of special programs designed to increase the number of students who succeed and excel in Mathematics.

The Wayne State Mathematics Department offers broad programs of graduate study leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in pure and applied mathematics and in statistics. Teaching assistantships, fellowships, research assistantships and several housing allowances are available for qualified students.

The Mathematics Department graduate faculty is actively engaged in research in a wide range of areas. Interaction between faculty and graduate students are traditionally informal and an excellent faculty-student ratio helps to insure that our students receive much individual attention and direction.
