Non-Mathematics Concentration
An approved 18-credit-hour (six-course) concentration outside the Division of Sciences. These courses may lead to a minor or may cross departments. This concentration must be planned as a unified, coherent whole rather than a series of unrelated courses and must be approved by the mathematics undergraduate coordinator or department chair.
Science Requirement
At least three science courses from among the offerings approved for science majors, including two courses with co-requisite laboratories from outside the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
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). Student who have completed other courses with substantial writing components can petition to have that work satisfy the mathematics writing requirement.
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 |
Note: 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.
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.Last Updated: 10/17/2017
