PhD students in computational applied mathematics at Rice University gain knowledge in understanding of physical phenomena and in making complex decisions. The experience involves intensive course study in small classes, close interaction with professors and immediate opportunities to participate in seminars and to engage in research projects.

Upon completing the PhD degree in the field of Computational Applied Mathematics and Operations Research, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate a solid foundation in graduate-level computational and applied mathematics, across multiple sub-fields.
• Propose and conduct original research in the field of computational and applied mathematics.
• Communicate computational and mathematical results and their consequences professionally and effectively in both written and oral formats.

Students pursuing the PhD degree in the field of Computational Applied Mathematics and Operations Research must:

• Complete a course of study approved by the department to establish a broad foundation in applied mathematics.
• Perform satisfactorily on qualifying examinations and reviews.
• Produce an original thesis acceptable to the department.
• Perform satisfactorily on a final public oral examination on the thesis.
