¹The selection of a First Year Seminar is likely to fulfill requirements both for the First Year Seminar and a General Education Requirement. Thus, the First Year Seminar will not add to the total credits for the semester. Talk with your advisor if you have any questions.

²Students must select as an elective at least one course from each of the following sets: (1) Applied Set: MATH 310 , MATH 320 , MATH 341 , MATH 360 , MATH 361 ,MATH 371 ; (2) Analysis Set: MATH 446 , MATH 460 , MATH 461 ; (3) Algebra Set: MATH 346 , MATH 448 . Students are encouraged to take their applied math elective in the second year.

³Students must complete either 30 credits in a separate discipline or 15 credits in two distinct majors from different departments. These courses must count towards a major or minor in the respective discipline.

Mathematics majors are required to take the Math Major Field Test in order to graduate.
