Return to: College of Arts and Sciences
A Mathematical Sciences B.S. student will choose from the following tracks: Actuarial Science, Biological Sciences, Computer & Information Science, Data Science, and Physical Sciences. All students take core courses in calculus and linear algebra, and then, depending on the chosen track, an array of upper-division mathematics courses and cognate courses from the partner discipline. Elective courses in mathematics, the partner discipline, and from the sciences at large are required and can be chosen in a manner that helps the student lay the groundwork for future graduate study, careers, or to take electives recommended for pre-med or pre-health professions students and is flexible enough to facilitate a double major with a program in the chosen partner discipline.

Actuarial Science Track Curriculum
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.
2At least two cognates total minimum of six credits prefixed ACC, ECO, FIN, or DS in addition to those already specified are required. The course numbers must be such that the course would count toward a major in the appropriate program or the concentration in the case of DS.
3At least two MATH Elective courses total minimum of six credits numbered 299 or higher beyond those already specified are required.
4 At least two STEM Elective courses total minimum of six credits prefixed BCMB, BIOL, CHEM, CMPS, MATH, NEUR, PHYS, or PSIO beyond those already specified are required. The course numbers must be such that the course would count toward a major in the appropriate program.
aEither Free Electives or STEM Elective courses may be used to fulfill the natural science (E) GE requirement.
bFree electives, STEM electives, major electives, cognate electives, and/or GE electives may be used to fulfill the GE requirement of two EPW II courses
Biological Sciences Track Curriculum
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 choose a sequence of two lecture/lab courses from CHEM 232 /232L , CHEM 233 /233L , or two from: BIOL 245 , 350 , 351 , 370 , 371 , or 374 with both the lecture and the corresponding lab required. The organic chemistry sequence CHEM 232 /232L , CHEM 233 /233L is suggested for students oriented toward pre-health.
3At least two cognates total minimum of six credits prefixed BCMB, BIOL, NEUR, or PSIO in addition to those already specified are required. The course numbers must be such that the course would count toward a major in the appropriate program.
4At least two MATH elective courses total minimum of six credits numbered 299 or higher beyond those already specified are required.
5At least two STEM elective courses total minimum of six credits prefixed BCMB, BIOL, CHEM, CMPS, MATH, NEUR, PHYS, or PSIO beyond those already specified are required. The course numbers must be such that the course would count toward a major in the appropriate program.
aStudents pursuing a pre-health curriculum are encouraged to use the STEM elective courses to meet additional science course requirements appropriate for their specific pre-health interests.
bA free elective, STEM elective, major elective, cognate elective, or GE elective may be used to fulfill the GE requirement of a second EPW II course.

aStudents must choose one of the following sequences of natural science courses, BIOL 141 -BIOL 142 , CHEM 113 -CHEM 114L , or PHYS 140/PHYS 140L -PHYS 141/PHYS 141L . The corresponding labs are also required. These courses satisfy the natural science (E) GE requirement.
bFree electives, STEM electives, major electives, cognate electives, and/or GE electives may be used to fulfill the GE requirement of two EPW II courses.
