Degree Requirements
The Bachelor of Science degree requires a minimum of 61 credits. The Bachelor of Arts degree requires a minimum of 50 credits, and a minor in mathematics requires a minimum of 31 credits. These are allocated below between core requirements, upper-division mathematics/statistics elective requirements and supplementary elective requirements.
For all mathematics majors and minors, a common core of courses is required. These core requirements are the same for candidates for the Bachelor of Arts and for mathematics minors. Candidates for the Bachelor of Science degree must complete three additional courses for their core requirements. Core Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts Degree and for Minors
Note:
- Core requirements , , are fulfilled by sufficiently high scores on AP or CLEP or IB examinations. See Appendices of this catalog for details.
- The sequence , , is equivalent to , . Students may not receive credit for both sequences.
- Students may need to take prior to .
Core Requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree
In addition to the core requirements listed above, the Bachelor of Science degree requires the following: Select one course: 3 Credits
Note:
The above cannot be used to fulfill mathematics elective requirements or supplementary elective requirements. Mathematics/Statistics Elective Requirements
After completion of the core requirements, each major or minor is required to take a certain number of additional three- or four-credit mathematics or statistics courses numbered 300 or higher. , and , designed for other majors, are not allowed to meet the requirements below. may not be used as a mathematics elective, but it may be used as a supplementary elective. NOTE: and are GEP writing intensive courses. B.S. degree
Six courses
For one of the mathematical electives, a major may bundle together three or more credits from courses carrying one or two credits. These include: Note:
For the B.S. in Mathematics, at least three of the mathematics/statistics electives must be at the 400 level. Specialty in Statistical Sciences
Listed below are suggested electives for each specialty mentioned previously.
Supplementary Requirements
Mathematics and statistics have proven indispensable in many disciplines in the physical sciences, the social sciences and even in the humanities and arts. Much of mathematics and statistics has developed with a view toward its applications in other fields. To develop an appreciation of the connection, mathematics majors are required to take three courses for the B.A. and two courses for the B.S. additional to the core from other departments reflecting these interconnections. These are listed below. From time to time, special topics courses offered by other departments may be used to satisfy supplementary requirements, subject to departmental approval. Occasionally mathematics or statistics courses are cross-listed in other departments. Taken under the other department these count as supplementary electives. Mathematics minors are not subject to these supplementary requirements.
*Note:*None of the mathematics electives nor the supplementary electives are elective except for choices within categories; all are required by the certificate program in mathematics education. Courses for Supplementary Requirements
