D. REQUIREMENTS FOR A MAJOR IN MATHEMATICS
DUAL DEGREE MATHEMATICS/ENGINEERING PROGRAM
This program is offered by Bowie State University in conjunction with several other cooperating
institutions (including The George Washington University, Washington, D.C.; the University of Maryland,
Baltimore County; Howard University, Washington, D.C.; Morgan State University, Baltimore; and the
University of Maryland College Park). Under this program, the student attends Bowie State for the first
three academic years and the receiving university for the final two academic years. Upon successful
completion of the Engineering sequence, the student receives a BS degree in engineering from the
receiving institution. Then and only then does Bowie State University award a BS degree with a major in
Mathematics. The BSU phase of the program requires a minimum of 90 semester hours of course work:
36 in general education (see above), 27 in core requirements (see above) and 27 additional semester
hours as outlined below. Very Important: Every student in the program is required to consult with the
Dual Degree Math/Engineering Program Coordinator in the Department of Mathematics to map out the
specific sequence of courses appropriate to his/her chosen specialty in engineering. Some specialized
programs in engineering may require the student to take additional courses (or course substitutions) in
