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 working toward the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from the College of Education with a teaching major in Mathematics.
THE CORE COURSES: Should be completed by the end of the sophomore year.
