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.

²Electives for Mathematics majors: Major electives are selected from Mathematics courses numbered above MATH 300; also PHYS 350 , PHYS 351 or CMPS 364 . Students 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 368 , 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.

³At least 30 credits of cognate electives must be applied towards: a second major; a concentration; certification; a combination of two minors, concentrations, or certifications; or a package of courses pre-approved by the department..

⁴These EPW electives might also satisfy other curricular requirement(s). When an EPW elective satisfies other curricular requirements(s), an additional free elective will be required.

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