EnglishWhat Academic Programs Are Offered by FAU's Department of Mathematics and Statistics?
Updated
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), part of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, offers programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, along with supplementary learning opportunities such as a Math Boot Camp and certificates. The department's homepage organizes these offerings under an "Academics" menu, which splits into Graduate and Undergraduate sections, plus separate entries for Math Boot Camp, Certificates, Math Computer Labs, Placement Test, Math Learning Center, Departmental Course Schedule, Final Exam Info, and Office Hours.
Undergraduate Programs
The homepage lists an Undergraduate section under Academics, indicating that the department offers bachelor's-level study in mathematics and statistics. The page also references resources that support undergraduate students, including:
- Math Boot Camp – a preparatory program, listed as its own menu item
- Certificates – certificate programs available through the department
- Math Computer Labs – computing facilities for coursework
- Placement Test – for determining appropriate course placement
- Math Learning Center – tutoring and academic support
- Departmental Course Schedule and Final Exam Info – scheduling resources
- Office Hours – faculty availability
The site also highlights undergraduate research activity, such as students participating in FAU's 16th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium and the Dr. Eric Shaw Excellence in Science Undergraduate Research Poster Competition (open to degree-seeking Schmidt College of Science undergraduates and FAU High School students conducting research under Schmidt College of Science faculty mentorship).
Graduate Programs
The Graduate section under Academics covers the department's master's and doctoral offerings. The homepage notes that the Master of Science in Teaching degree is now a fully online program. Graduate students are active in research and conferences, as shown by news items about FAU Math faculty and students presenting at the OAL-RAG mathematics conference at Louisiana State University, and a Ph.D. student from the University of Naples studying identifiability analysis and numerical analysis with Dr. Necibe Tuncer.
