¹See note on Math Options .

Two math options are available to Business majors:

Option I* (3 credits) MATH 107 - (Q) Quantitative Methods II
Option II* (4 credits) MATH 114 - (Q) Calculus I

*Students are tested for math placement during summer orientation. On the basis of these tests and their high school background it will be recommended that some students take Option II, especially if they expect to pursue graduate studies. The majority of students will be placed in Option I, and may also be required to take MATH 106 as a prerequisite to taking MATH 107 .

²The 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.

³Economics majors may apply up to 6 cognate credits toward a Math minor. Students taking the sequence open to Math majors are strongly urged to complete the calculus sequence by taking MATH 222 , particularly if they plan on pursuing graduate studies. Economics majors registered in the Kania School of Management will apply 9 of their elective cognate credits to one of the following areas (exceptions require the permission of the KSOM Dean): Accounting, Finance, International Business, Management, Marketing, Operations Management. The remaining cognate credits may be applied to the social sciences or from the other business areas (but note that no more than 30 credits altogether can be taken in business subjects, exclusive of Economics courses). Care must be taken to observe prerequisites.

⁴If a third math course is required, it replaces this GE elective.
