Requirements for a Major in Mathematics

 

    Each student majoring in mathematics is assigned an advisor from the Mathematics and Statistics program. The student is requested to meet with his/her advisor at least once during each quarter, at which time courses for the following quarter are decided

upon.

 

    Each mathematics major must complete the mathematics curriculum which follows with a grade of 'C' or higher in all mathematics and statistics courses, and must complete a minor. The minor subject must be chosen with the approval of the student's advisor. The minor requirements are listed under the department concerned.

 

    Students who wish to obtain a more intensive degree program with a concentration in statistics-mathematics -engineering are not required to declare a minor if they earn credit for the following courses: (1) fifteen semester hours of 400-level mathematics and statistics courses (with a minimum of 9 semester hours of mathematics courses) which are approved by the student's advisor; and (2) six semester hours of engineering courses which are approved by the student's advisor. Note: No course may count

toward the required mathematics and statistics courses in the mathematics curriculum and also the statistics-mathematics-engineering concentration.
