The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Auburn University has more than 50 professors representing diverse areas of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics. Many faculty have obtained international recognition for their research. Our graduate and upperclassman courses usually have between five to 15 students, and many of our general undergraduate classes are capped at under 30 students. Thus, the department is able to offer students personalized attention and hands-on interaction with dedicated faculty. Some faculty maintain applied research programs associated with several government and industrial laboratories. Two faculty members hold the Associate of the Society of Actuaries designation and their group has been successful in placing students in actuarial positions.
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers undergraduate programs leading to a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics (with options in Applied Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics, or Actuarial Science) and graduate programs leading to a Master of Science in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Probability and Statistics, and Data Science as well as the Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics including a concentration in Statistics.
