UConn’s Ph.D. in Mathematics offers a rigorous path of advanced coursework and original research, with the flexibility to specialize in pure or applied mathematics. Students build a strong foundation through core courses and prelims, preparing them to become members of the mathematical research community. They collaborate with faculty mentors, and ultimately craft a dissertation that advances mathematical knowledge.

For those drawn to actuarial science, UConn is home to one of the nation’s leading graduate programs—and the only one of its kind in New England. The Ph.D. in Mathematics with Thesis in Actuarial Science blends deep theoretical training with practical engagement, supported by the Janet and Mark L. Goldenson Research Center for Actuarial Science. Here, students explore emerging challenges in the field, work alongside practitioners, and pursue research with real-world impact. While designed for academic and research careers rather than actuarial practice, this unique track provides unparalleled opportunities to shape the future of the discipline.

Explore the M.S. programs at UConn’s Department of Mathematics—ideal for students seeking either academic advancement or real-world expertise. Each program delivers rigorous coursework, strong faculty mentorship, and flexible formats to match your career goals.

• M.S. in Mathematics (Thesis or Non-Thesis): Build a robust foundation in mathematics through 30 credits of graduate coursework. Pursue either a thesis-driven path with original research and committee guidance, or opt for coursework plus prelims or an oral exam to cap off your degree.
• M.S. in Mathematics with Concentration in Actuarial Science: Crafted for those aiming to become practicing actuaries, this concentration includes at least five core actuarial courses aligned with Society of Actuaries and CAS exam content, along with options to count professional exam passes in lieu of internal prelims.
• M.S. in Applied Financial Mathematics: Designed for analytical careers in finance—from investment firms to consulting—this professional master’s emphasizes financial modeling, risk management, and communication skills. It includes a required field-study internship and a capstone exit project.
• M.S. in Applied Financial Mathematics with Concentration in Actuarial Science: This hybrid program blends financial mathematics rigor with specialized actuarial coursework. Students complete core finance and actuarial courses, gain real-world experience through internships or a capstone, and may offset internal requirements with professional Society of Actuaries (SOA) exam credits.
