Major Fields or Sub disciplines
The Ph.D. degree in Mathematics may be earned under the pure or applied programs. Many possible choices of fields exist within these programs, and students are urged to read the booklet, Graduate Studies in Mathematics at UCLA, that describes the specialties of the faculty and the active research areas in the department in some detail.
Course Requirements
Under the pure mathematics option, students must pass (with a grade of B or better) at least 12 courses from Mathematics 205A through 285N, but excluding the basic courses 210A-210B, 245A-245B, and 246A-246B. At most, three of these courses may be in the 285 series. Each student must actively participate (and lecture 90 minutes, normally two lectures) in at least two advanced seminars. Credit for one of the seminars must be obtained within three registered quarters after passing the written qualifying examinations, the other within five quarters after passing the written qualifying examinations.
Under the applied mathematics option, students must pass (with a grade of B or better) at least 18 approved graduate courses, including at least 12 courses from Mathematics 205A through 285N. At most, three of these courses may be in Mathematics 285A through 285 L.
