Mathematics Colloquium

The UIS Mathematics Colloquium aims to create a diverse platform where research scholars, faculty, students, and industrial experts can share and exchange ideas. We hope to provide an opportunity for attendees to discover new interests, encourage faculty and student research activities, enrich students’ educational experiences, and bring together our students and faculty community through our common interests in mathematics. 

The Directed Research/Reading (DRR) Program

Are you interested in doing a project with a MAT faculty member? If so, applying to the Directed Research/Reading (DRR) program is something you should seriously consider!

The DRR mission is to: (1) enhance student learning experience, and (2) recognize students who successfully complete the project. The project involved could be an original research project, or a reading project (exploring advanced topics beyond what is taught in classes). 

In Fall 2022, the Mathematical Sciences and Philosophy programs here at UIS formed in one department, creating a community of passionate scholars who provide a unique student-centered educational experience.

Students in the Mathematical Sciences and Philosophy Department join that community, where they can connect with each other and with our faculty and staff, whether through online or face-to-face communication.

Curriculum Overview

UIS students focus on a well-rounded curriculum in the humanities, social sciences, arts, and physical and natural sciences, including mathematics and computer science.  Students learn professional skills, but also the blend of critical thinking, scientific logic, and appreciation of the humanities that is so important in the development of personal enrichment.

Students interested in studying mathematics at UIS may do so on campus or online.

The information below is for new math majors who have just been accepted to the University. If you are not accepted yet, there is an FAQ for applicants as well.

Taking Online Courses or Becoming a Math Major at UIS

Taking online math classes here at UIS is a very accessible means for anyone to get an affordable, accredited education from an Ãå±±½ûµØ public institution. While UIS is a four-year institution and we have some onground math majors who are freshmen, the online degree program is meant for transfer students only.
