Requirements

Major Electives

The student majoring in Mathematics must take at least 21 credits of major electives. Major electives are selected from Mathematics courses numbered above 300; also PHYS 350 - Applied and Engineering Mathematics , PHYS 351 - Mathematical Physics II , or CMPS 364 - Theory of Computation . The student must select as an elective at least one of MATH 447 - Real Analysis II or MATH 449 - Modern Algebra II , and at least one course from each of the following three sets:

1) Analysis Set

2) Algebra/Geometry Set

3) Applied Set

*Most mathematics electives are offered every other year. Check with the department chair for the current schedule.

Cognate Electives

The student majoring in Mathematics must take at least 11 credits of cognate electives, including at least one of DS 201 - (Q) Introduction to Data Science or CMPS 134 - Computer Science I / CMPS 134L Cognate electives are selected from the following.

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.

^aFree electives, major electives, cognate electives, and/or GE electives may be used to fulfill the GE requirements of a second (EPW) course and two (D) courses.

^bIf the EP FYDT-FYOC requirements are satisfied through completion of cognate elective(s), then an additional free elective will be required.

^cIf completed cognate elective(s) are natural science (E) course(s) or social/behavioral science (S) course(s), then additional free elective(s) will be required.

The results of the placement tests administered prior to the first semester assist students and their advisors in choosing the proper beginning-level mathematics sequence and the proper entry-level within that sequence. If a course is a prerequisite for a second course, directly or indirectly, and a student receives credit for the second course then that student will not be allowed to register for the prerequisite course. Mathematics majors are required to take the Math Major Field Test in order to graduate.
