Bachelor of Science, Mathematics

Core Mathematics provides preparation for graduate study in mathematics and employment in business, industry or government. It also prepares one for advanced work in other fields where strong mathematical backgrounds are valuable, for example, science, educational research, psychology, law, and medicine.

All majors must satisfy the following general degree requirements. Mathematics courses below MA 16300 do not count toward graduation. All required Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics courses must be passed with a grade of C or better.

Here is the Plan of Study (PDF version) that describes a proposed four year sequence for this degree program.
