The Department of Mathematics at Kyung Hee University offers
graduate programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor
of Philosophy degrees.
The purpose of the graduate program is to give students an
understanding of the broad outline of modern mathematics,
to stimulate their interest in research and to prepare them
for later work either in pure and applied mathematics or allied
sciences.
First established in 1959 as the Department of Mathematics
and Physics, and reestablished as the Department of Mathematics
in 1969, the Department was reconstituted again in 1981 after
a short period of inoperation.
The Master's and Doctoral programs have been offered since
1965 and 1969 respectively. In 1991, the Cooperative Research
Master's and Doctoral programs were put into place jointly
with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology(KIST).
The Department is a close-knit group of students and professors
working together to create a dynamic and stimulating environment
that can provide learning opportunities for all. The faculty
places high priority on making themselves available to students
both in and out of the classroom. All members of the department
are active in the mathematical world at large in ways that
enhance their foremost concern, excellence in instruction.
1) At least 24 course units of graduate level credit in Mathematics
courses are required for the master's degree and 60 course
units for the doctor's degree (including units completed in
master course).
2) Students have to pass a qualifying examination.
3) Students must fulfill presentation, defense, and document
requirements for the
Mathematics thesis committee.
4) A thesis advisor can be any faculty member from the Mathematics
