Where Can I Find PhD Programs in Math with a Number Theory Focus?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To find PhD programs in mathematics with a focus on number theory, prospective students should consult academic faculty within their current institutions, particularly those specializing in number theory or related fields. Resources such as academic catalogs, university websites, and professional organizations can provide comprehensive lists of programs. Top-tier schools are often highlighted, but students should also consider reputable institutions that may not be as competitive. Engaging with faculty can yield personalized recommendations and insights into lesser-known programs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of academic structures and degree programs in mathematics
  • Familiarity with number theory as a mathematical discipline
  • Knowledge of how to navigate university resources and faculty networks
  • Awareness of professional organizations in mathematics, such as the American Mathematical Society
NEXT STEPS
  • Research academic catalogs of universities with strong mathematics departments
  • Explore the American Mathematical Society's resources for graduate programs
  • Network with faculty members in mathematics to gather recommendations
  • Investigate online forums and communities for insights on lesser-known PhD programs
USEFUL FOR

Prospective PhD students in mathematics, particularly those interested in number theory, academic advisors, and undergraduate students exploring graduate school options.

I'm trying to find PhD programs in math that offer number theory as a focus. Where do I find this sort of information besides looking at each individual school? Is there some sort of catalogue or list that readily offers this information?

Presumably you're doing an undergrad degree in a place with a math department. Find out who among your faculty does number theory, and ask them. If nobody does number theory, ask an algebraist.
 
The only places that my professors know about are top tier schools, which I doubt I can get into. I need a school that has a good math department, but not THAT good. Any other suggestions?
