For prospective graduate students

Founded in 1872, the university is a nationally recognized Carnegie Doctoral I institution and is the fourth largest public university in Ohio. It is located in a pleasant residential neighborhood of Toledo, a thriving Great Lakes port of 300,000. The Graduate School offers over 40 academic programs at the master's and doctoral levels. With about twenty five graduate faculty and forty full-time students at both the Master's and Ph.D. levels, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics features the close student-faculty contact and informal atmosphere of a small department while at the same time providing facilities and opportunities comparable to those at larger institutions.

Graduate programs

The Department offers the following graduate programs:

Computing Facilities

All students, faculty, and staff at the University are given a UTAD account. This account provides access to a wide variety of computing facilities. See the Information Technology FAQ web pages to learn more.

The department has a computer lab (called the Newton Lab) located in UH 1000. The computers in this lab (which can be accessed using your UTAD account) have a number of department specific pieces of software including maple, matlab, python, and others.

Library Facilities

The main research library of the University of Toledo is the William S. Carlson Library which houses over 1,600,000 volumes and over 3,000 periodicals. The library has a large and current collection of mathematical texts and monographs and subscribes to over 200 mathematical journals. The University of Toledo Libraries have a fully electronic catalog and circulation service that is available through any terminal on or off campus. The University Library network is connected to a statewide university library network, which makes available to students the collections of all other university and colleges libraries in the State of Ohio. Requests to these libraries can be filed electronically and are usually available within a few days. Also available through the Library network are numerous research databases such as ISI. It should also be noted that one of the major university research libraries in the United States is within an hour's drive at the University of Michigan.
