The Mathematics Department at the University of Oklahoma has 34 permanent faculty members, 8 visiting faculty members, and a support staff of six (including a full-time undergraduate advisor.) Virtually all of the department's faculty have active research programs (many externally funded) and regularly publish articles in mathematical journals and participate in conferences around the world.
Students
The Department has approximately 120 undergraduate majors and 70 mathematics graduate students. The department teaches over 13,000 students in a typical calendar year.
Degree Programs
The Mathematics Department offers the following degree programs for undergraduates:
  • Bachelor of Arts Standard Degree (1701A): the basic undergraduate mathematics degree;
  • Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Professional Degree (1701K): a rigorous undergraduate mathematics degree program for students intent on graduate work in mathematics;
  • Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) and Master of Science in Biostatistics (1701L): a five-year accelerated dual-degree program in conjunction with the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the OU Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City.
The Mathematics Department also offers a full complement of graduate-degree programs:
  • Master of Arts and Master of Science
  • dual MS/MBA
  • Doctor of Philosophy
Other Bachelor/Master dual-degree opportunities are possible for exceptional students interested in a fast-track toward an advanced degree.
Minor in Mathematics
For students interested in mathematics who choose to major in another discipline a Math Minor may present an attractive option. The requirements for a minor in mathematics are fifteen hours of courses acceptable for major credit, including Math 2443 (Calculus & Analytic Geometry IV), three hours of general math elective, and nine upper-division hours including six hours numbered 4000 or above.
