  • Graduate Certificate in Statistical Methods

At the Ph.D. level, the department offers a Doctor of Philosophy in applied mathematical sciences with one of the following associated specializations:

  • Applied continuous mathematics
  • Applied discrete mathematics
  • Applied statistics

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics serves a support role for departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering and Computer Science, the School of Education and Human Services, and the School of Business Administration.

Join the Mathematics Student Society, a group of OU students who are interested in mathematics with a mission to bring students together to hear educational talks, form study groups, and learn about careers in math.
