Our Mission | Department of Mathematics and Statistics

The mission of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics is aligned with the mission of Georgetown University, affirming the interconnection of teaching and research and fostering a close relationship between faculty and students.

We strive to make an impact on the disciplines of mathematics and statistics and on the broader society through the following goals:

internationally recognized research in pure and applied mathematics and statistics,
dedicated teaching that empowers undergraduate and graduate students to formulate and solve mathematical and statistical problems and communicate the solutions and their significance,
training a diverse group of problem solvers who will be in a position to choose amongst the many opportunities available to professionals with well-developed quantitative skills, and
promoting the success of a diverse group of faculty at all levels, through mentoring, material support and collegial interactions that enhance research and teaching.

We offer undergraduate majors leading to a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science, with the option of completing a major with Honors. We also offer an undergraduate minor in Mathematics and an undergraduate minor in Statistics.

For graduate studies, we offer a Master of Science in Mathematics and Statistics and a PhD program in Applied Mathematics.
