Mathematics

The key to solving problems of the universe.

The Department of Mathematics covers a broad range of fields: pure and applied mathematics, plus statistics and actuarial science.

Programs run from the bachelor's through the master's, grounded in modeling and problem-solving.

Programs

Each program has its own page with admission details and a link to its requirements in the course catalog.

LSU New Orleans undergraduates can start some master's degrees early through the accelerated master's program, which the Graduate School runs.
