Mathematics Requirements

Calculus	MATH.1310 or (MATH.1280 and MATH.1290), MATH.1320 and MATH.2310
Linear Algebra	MATH.2210 and MATH.2220
Differential Equations	one of MATH.2340, MATH.2360
Discrete Structures	one of MATH.3210 or MATH.3220
Analysis I	one of MATH.4030, MATH.4110, MATH.5010
Analysis II	one of MATH.3010, MATH.3220, MATH.3620, MATH.4030, MATH.4110, MATH.4130, MATH.4200, MATH.4210, MATH.4500
Probability & Statistics	one of MATH.3850, MATH.3860, MATH.4860
Senior Seminar	MATH.3750 and MATH.4750
Math Electives	Three mathematics courses at the 3000 level or higher (except MATH.3630

Note: None of the above courses can be used to satisfy two different requirements. MATH.3050 and MATH.5030 cannot both be used to satisfy the two-courses Analysis requirement.

The following courses cannot be used as Electives:

• MATH.1110 Quantitative Reasoning
  
• MATH.1210 Management Precalculus 
  
• MATH.1220 Management Calculus
  
• MATH.1270 Preparation for Calculus
• MATH.1510 Explorations in Math
• MATH.2830 Introduction to Statistics 
  
• MATH.3630 Intro to Data Analysis
  

No more than 60 Math credits can be counted toward the degree. 

Computing Requirement

COMP.1010 (Computing I) or MATH.5760 (Statistical Programming Using SAS) or another computer programming class as approved by the Undergraduate Coordinator or Department Chair.

Writing Requirement

ENGL.2290 (Essay Writing for Non-English Majors). If a student has completed other courses with substantial writing requirements, he/she can petition to have that work satisfy the mathematics writing requirement. Students with a joint major in Computer Science should take ENGL.2200 (Oral and Written Communication for CS Majors) rather than ENGL.2290

General Education Requirement

College Writing	ENGL.1010 and ENGL.1020
Arts & Humanities (AH)	Three courses, not all from a single department
Social Sciences (SS)	Three courses, not all from a single department
Diversity (D)	One course
Ethics (E)	One course

Math/Science/Technology Gen ED requirements are fulfilled by previous requirements.

Mathematics Concentrations

In addition to the general Mathematics (No Concentration) Major, six concentrations are available: Applied/Computational Mathematics, Bioinformatics, Business Applications, Computer Science, Probability/Statistics and Teaching. Interested students should check requirements with his/her adviser or with the undergraduate coordinator. To have a concentration appear on the transcript the Registrar must be notified.

Advice to Students

Any deviations from this sample program of study require permission of the Mathematics Department Chair or Undergraduate Coordinator. To receive written permission, use a Student Exception form and keep a copy for your own files.

Bachelor of Science Requirements

A minimum of 74 credits and 20 courses from the offerings of science and mathematics.

Four science lecture courses with corequisite labs, including a two semester sequence in a department other than Mathematics — COMP.1010 (Computing I), COMP.1020 (Computing II), MATH.2310/2320 (Calculus III & Math Lab I) and MATH.2360 (Engineering Diff Eqns) qualify. If you use math courses to fulfill lab science requirements, you will have to take additional science elective courses to satisfy the requirement of 74 science credits. The following courses CANNOT be used to fulfill science requirements: CHEM.1010, CHEM.1110, CHEM.1130, CHEM.1120, CHEM.1140, ATMO.1020, ATMO.1200, ATMO.1410, ENVI.1010, ENVI.1020, ENVI.1150, GEOL.1010, COMP.1110, COMP.1130, COMP.1140, COMP.1150, COMP.2110, PHYS.1210, PHYS.1210, RADI.1010, RADI.1020

Restriction on off-campus study:

Be advised that any course taken at another institution must be formally approved prior to enrollment. See the catalog policy for details.
