Mathematics and Computer Science

The Mathematics and Computer Science graduate programs offer a vital intellectual community that combines cutting-edge research with a friendly and supportive atmosphere. We have active research groups in several areas, including collaborations with faculty members from other programs and schools at Emory and with researchers at universities across the world.

PhD in Computer Science and Informatics

Our Computer Science and Informatics Ph.D. program combines coursework, hands-on rotation projects, and dissertation research in areas such as Data and Information Management, Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, Distributed and High-Performance Computing, and Scientific Computing.

PhD in Mathematics

Our Mathematics Ph.D. program is suitable for those wishing to pursue careers in academics or industry. Possible areas of research specialization include Algebra, Analysis/Geometry, Combinatorics/Graph Theory, Computational Mathematics, and Topology.

The department offers three Master of Science programs:

MS in Mathematics

The degree is suited for those with an undergraduate degree in mathematics. Those obtaining the degree may pursue careers in industry or enter a Ph.D. program in Mathematics.

MS in Computer Science

Our Computer Science MS program is suited to individuals with an undergraduate degree in computer science or mathematics with computational experience. Those obtaining the degree may pursue careers in industry or enter a Ph.D. program in Computer Science.

MS in Computer Science with Biostatistics Concentration

In conjunction with the program of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, we offer a M.S. in Computer Science with a Biostatistics concentration. The program is suited to individuals with an undergraduate degree in an appropriate discipline, e.g., mathematics, statistics, computer science, or a natural, physical or social sciences subject. Those obtaining the degree will be exceptionally well-prepared for next-generation careers in industry, government, or public health, or to enter a doctoral program in Informatics, Computer Science, Biostatistics or Statistics.
