Program

The principal objectives or goals of the Mathematical Sciences programs at Claremont Graduate University are as follows.

  • Master’s programs in Mathematics, Computational and Applied Mathematics, and Statistics and Machine Learning are designed for students seeking employment in industry or government, as well as for currently employed persons wishing to expand their knowledge of modern techniques and trends in the mathematical sciences.
  • PhD programs in Mathematics as well as in Engineering and Computational Mathematics (joint with CSULB) qualify students for careers as researchers or educators in the mathematical sciences.

Resources

A number of valuable resources are available to students at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

Mathematics Clinic.  Open to students in all of the mathematical sciences programs, the clinic provides invaluable training through a combination of experience in real-world problem solving and the study of relevant mathematics and its applications. Under faculty supervision, students work on problems arising in industry and government. Projects are selected based upon educational merit and are generally of sufficient magnitude that formulation, analysis, and exposition require substantial involvement over an academic year. 

Since its inception in 1973, the Mathematics Clinic has completed over 300 year-long projects with industry. Topics studied in the clinic are diverse and every attempt is made to match student skills and interests with project needs.

Claremont Center for Mathematical Sciences (CCMS).  The Claremont Center for Mathematical Sciences (CCMS) is a collaborative effort of the mathematics departments of The Claremont Colleges designed to promote research and creative teaching. Center activities and initiatives, detailed on the CCMS website, include seminars and events organized by the various math departments and faculty. Research goals strive to enhance collaborative efforts among faculty, undergraduates, and graduate students. Outreach efforts concentrate on teaching, service, and diversity.
