At the time Texas A&M was founded in 1876 as the oldest public institution of higher learning in Texas, two of its original six professors were mathematicians. Today the Department of Mathematics continues to perform an equally critical function, maintaining one of the University's highest teaching loads while also executing one of the nation's most impressive and diverse research agendas. We offer three undergraduate degrees with a variety of options as well as traditional and specialized tracks for advanced graduate study. As proven leaders in K-12 educational outreach, technology-mediated instruction, and distance education, we currently offer one of the nation's only 100 percent online master's degrees in mathematics.
