Do anybody know Mathematics dept of claremont graduate university(CGU)? I just received Ph.D offer from CGU (Usnews ranking is 73).
However, I found that few faculties are in IMS of CGU. It seemed that it is not a completed matheamtics dept with not so many mathematics activities, seminars or courses. Besides, I heard that few faculties are still doing research right now!
I am marjoring in Probability Theory and want to do research like Financial Mathematics or statistics in my PhD study.
Is every doctoral student easy to find a good job related to Financial Mathematics or statistics after graduation from maths dept of CGU?
If possible, could you tell me extra information about CGU? is it worth attending it?
Most of my professors have gotten their degrees from CGU at my university. I live in that area. Although I’m not a graduate student (yet), I can only tell you that just from asking them about graduate schools they obviously all recommended CGU over any top-tier university in the area (UCLA, USC, etc.)
I think it’s hard to answer whether a doctoral student can find a particular job in a particular area from a particular university. The same goes for whether it’s worth attending or not… you’ll always get a biased answer, obviously. I suppose you should probably visit the university yourself maybe and then see for yourself. Doing that will give you a good idea of what to expect. Maybe give a few professors a call and ask if you can stop by and talk about their program if you’re not far away.
