Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics (PhD Math) program is a doctoral level graduate program of UP Baguio that enables students to: acquire knowledge in pure and applied mathematics; enhance their research skills to help them produce quality research output; and become prolific mathematicians, and future leaders in academe, industry, and professional organizations. The program will allow UP Baguio to contribute to the urgent need to train and develop more PhD Mathematics graduates who will go on to teach and engage in Mathematics and Math-related research. At the end of the program, graduates of PhD Mathematics are expected to become competent educators and professionals who can conduct advanced and high quality research, who are able to review research in their areas of specialization, and who will help improve the quality of programs in their institutions. This will contribute to the upgrading of tertiary and graduate Mathematics instruction and research in the Philippines.
