Students completing the BS degree in Mathematics must have second semester proficiency in a second language.
The BS degree is a science intensive degree and to fulfill the Natural Science General Education requirements, students must complete one of the following sequences of laboratory science courses:
- CHEM 103A & 104A, 103B & 104B
- MCB 181 & 181L, ECOL 182
- PHYS 131, 181, 132, 182
- PHYS 141, 142 (3 units) or 241
- PHYS 151, 152
For the BS degree, students must complete one of the following sequences of physics courses:
- PHYS 131 & 181, 132 & 182
- PHYS 141, 142 (3 units) or 241
- PHYS 151, 152
OR complete six units of course work outside the Mathematics Department, approved by the major advisor, that require MATH 124 or MATH 125 or a higher mathematics course as a corequisite or prerequisite.
Note: A student may satisfy both the Tier I Natural Science courses and the Physics requirement by taking one of the physics sequences.
The Tier 2 general education requirement for natural science is satisfied by the major.
Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree Options:
- Comprehensive Option: Students planning to go on to graduate study in mathematics or applied mathematics should choose the comprehensive option.
Computer Science Option: This option is meant for those students interested in applications of computers to mathematical problems, including most math majors who plan to go to graduate school in Computer Science.
Economics or Finance Option: This option is for students with a particular interest in business applications of mathematics, especially those preparing fro graduate school in either Economics or Finance.
General/Applied Mathematics Option: This option is meant for those students who intend to enter the job market upon graduation.
Mathematics Education Option: This option is for students preparing to teach mathematics at the secondary school level. The Education Option has two components, a set of courses in mathematics and a set of courses in teaching and learning mathematics in secondary schools.
Probability and Statistics Option: Students who choose this option can consider going into actuarial work or applied statistics on graduation or continuing on to graduate studies in Statistics.
