Wayne State's 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, and Research Assistantships are available for qualified students. In addition, several applicants may be awarded housing allowances; these provide a partial rent subsidy, usually for residence in modern high-rise apartment complexes on the campus.

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.

Detroit is the center of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States. Many large industrial concerns, including the major automobile manufacturers' headquarters and research facilities, are in the Detroit area. Many of our graduate students have obtained positions in Detroit-based industry upon completion of their studies.
