What Are Your Thoughts on DePaul's M.S. in Pure Mathematics Program?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the reputation and quality of the mathematics program at DePaul University, particularly in light of recent graduates pursuing PhDs at respected institutions like the University of Oregon and the University of Toronto. While DePaul is ranked 121 overall, its math program is not widely recognized. Participants note mixed reviews about the program, with some graduates feeling they gained valuable knowledge, evidenced by their acceptance into competitive PhD programs. The conversation also touches on the speaker's dissatisfaction with the faculty at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), citing language barriers among some professors. The speaker is considering transferring to either Loyola or DePaul to complete their M.S. before pursuing a PhD.

I was just wondering what people thought about this program. I know a couple of kids who are graduating with their M.S. in pure math from DePaul and they are going to university of Oregon and Toronto for the phd's.

DePaul is a decent school overall, ranking 121. I don't see it having a well known math school. What did your friends say?
 
Some have better things to say than others, obviously the two I mentioned learned something or they wouldn't have been accepted into those phd programs considering Oregon and Toronto have excellent programs. I ask because I am currently at IIT and am not overly impressed with their faculty, lots of foreigners some of the professors speak terrible English. The only two other schools in Chicago that are still open for applications are Loyola and DePaul so I would just be going there to finish up my M.S. and then transfer out for my phd.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
