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.
This option is for students with a particular interest in business applications of mathematics, especially those preparing for graduate school in either Economics or Finance. For this option, the minor must be in either Economics or Finance and should be chosen in consultation with an advisor.
THE CORE COURSES: Should be completed by the end of the sophomore year.
OPTION COURSES
One of the following two courses:
- MATH 410 Matrix Analysis
MATH 413 Linear Algebra
One of the following three courses:
- MATH 425B Real Analysis of Several Variables
MATH 466 Theory of Statistics
MATH 479 Game Theory and Mathematical Programming
And a fifth 400-level course, chosen in consultation with your faculty advisor.
PLEASE NOTE: Students wanting to have a minor in Finance will have to take all course work for the minor during summer sessions. Alternatively, a student interested in Finance may pursue a second degree program in Finance.
For complete listing of all degree requirements, see the Academic Program Requirements Report (APRR) in the university catalog.
