DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Our department, situated in the USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences, is home to approximately 35 regular faculty members as well as 15 postdoctoral researchers and visiting scholars working at the frontiers of pure and applied mathematics and statistics.

Along with both strength and depth in the more traditional subspecialties of pure mathematics — algebra, geometry, topology and analysis — our faculty includes internationally recognized groups in stochastic analysis and financial mathematics, bioinformatics and genomics, and interdisciplinary applied mathematics

The department has graduate programs leading to master’s and Ph.D. degrees in pure and applied mathematics and offers specialized professional master’s degrees in financial mathematics, bioinformatics and statistics. In addition, we have undergraduate programs leading to Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in both mathematics and applied mathematics, and we offer a combined undergraduate degree in mathematics and economics. Our progressive degree programs enable exceptionally well-prepared students to pursue a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in mathematics simultaneously. We also offer a minor in mathematics.
