Minor in Earth and Environmental Sciences
An undergraduate majoring in another subject may minor in earth
and environmental sciences by completing 20 credit hours in EES with
a grade of C or better in each EES course taken. The courses must
include EES 1000, 1001, and EES 1002 and 1003, and EES 1004 and 1005.
At least 8 credit hours must be 2000-level or above and at least nine
hours must have been taken at UNO.
Honors in Earth and Environmental Sciences
An honors program is available to EES majors. Successful completion
of the program will result in graduation with Honors in Earth
and Environmental Sciences. To be eligible for admission to the program,
a student must have a 3.25 overall grade average and a 3.5 in
EES courses. To remain in the program, a student must maintain these
averages. Before graduation a student must have completed at least
six hours of EES 3099, including an oral defense of the honors thesis
before a committee of the faculty.
CURRICULUM IN MATHEMATICS
The Department of Mathematics offers the Bachelor of Science
degree. To earn a baccalaureate degree in mathematics, a student must
satisfy all requirements of the University and of the College of Sciences,
as well as those of the program described below. In addition,
every major in mathematics must:
1. take at least 18 hours of mathematics numbered 3000 or above;
2. earn a grade of C or better in each mathematics course used to satisfy
the minimum mathematical requirement of the curriculum;
3. take a six-hour sequence in one language in partial fulfillment
of the College of Sciences humanities requirement (French, German,
or Russian is recommended for students planning graduate
studies);
4. successfully complete the requirements of one concentration
area, which shall consist of 12 hours of courses numbered 2000
or above in mathematics or in related fields, chosen with the
approval of the Department of Mathematics. A grade of C or better
must be earned in each course. The student may choose to
concentrate in applied mathematics, computer science, statistics,
geophysics, physical science, economics, etc.
5. choose at least three hours of science electives in biology, if biology
is not taken as the freshman lab science;
6. take at least six hours at or above the 2000-level in arts, humanities,
or social sciences.
7. take Mathematics 3900
Since good interdisciplinary programs require early, careful planning
and may require starting a sequence in the sophomore year, the
student should select a concentration area as early as possible.
Either sequence, Mathematics 2107, 2108, 2109 or Mathematics 2111,
2112, may be used to complete the first 10 hours of calculus. All courses
taken must be approved by a departmental advisor.
Students not adequately prepared to enter a calculus sequence must
take appropriate pre-calculus courses without credit toward graduation.
Departmental placement determines the point of admission to
these courses.
Bachelor of Science Degree
1. The 12 hours of Sciences (which includes engineering) must
include at least six hours in one subject, and at least six hours
must be in courses numbered 2000 or above. Certain science
courses are not permitted for degree credit by the College of
Sciences.
2. Concentrations may be primarily in a special area of mathematics
or can be designed to provide interdisciplinary education in
an allied field emphasizing quantitative methods.

Honors in Mathematics
An honors program is available to mathematics majors. Successful
completion of the program will result in graduation with Honors in
Mathematics. To be eligible for admission to the program a student
must have a 3.25 overall average and a 3.5 in mathematics (including
an average of 3.5 in mathematics courses numbered 2000 or above).
To remain in the program the student must maintain these averages.
Before graduation, the student must complete Mathematics 4411 and
six credit hours of Mathematics 3099, including an oral defense of the
honors thesis to a committee composed of the faculty thesis director,
another faculty member chosen by the departmental chairman, and a
representative of the Honors Program.
Minor in Mathematics
An undergraduate minor in mathematics may be obtained by completing
at least 25 credit hours in mathematics with a grade of C or
better. These 25 hours must include Mathematics 2111, 2112 (or 2107,
