Note:

*These consist of at least 9 credits in a single area of study other than mathematics and beyond the required courses found above. The sequence must be well integrated and consistent to ensure you gain knowledge in an area other than mathematics. When selecting electives, you should consult with the adviser of the department that interests you. Concentration work is in addition to the courses you take under other categories of the programs. For instance, required courses in physics do not count toward a concentration in physics.

Advanced Placement credits may be applied towards the first year of calculus. Students receiving grades of 4 or 5 in Calculus BC on advanced placement examinations in calculus conducted by the College Entrance Examination Board may be granted a maximum of 8 credits to be applied toward the 127-credit requirement for Bachelor’s Degree in mathematics.
