New York University Graduate School of Arts and Science 24 courses 36 total credits
The Department of Mathematics is part of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, an independent division of New York University. Based in Warren Weaver Hall, at the heart of New York University’s Washington Square campus, it is one of the top-ranked Mathematics departments worldwide (#4 in the US and #9 in the world as per the Shanghai rankings; #6 in the US and #8 in the world as per the QS rankings). For more on the Courant Institute and its pioneering history in the field of applied mathematics (our department is consistently ranked #1 in applied mathematics as per USNews), see the history page. The study of mathematics can lead to a variety of exciting professional careers. Basic research, engineering, finance, business, and government service are among the opportunities open to those with mathematical training. Moreover, with the increasing importance of basic science and information technology, prospects for careers in the mathematical sciences are very good. Mathematical analysis and computational modeling are important for solving some of the most pressing problems of our time - new energy resources, climate change, risk management, epidemiology, to name a few. We must strive to maintain our technological edge; mathematical skills will be crucial to this effort.
