A major in mathematics can be achieved by satisfying the requirements listed for either the
bachelor of arts or bachelor of science. Lower division students are urged to consult a member
of the departmental faculty before enrolling in courses other than those satisfying Division V
requirements.
The bachelor of arts in mathematics requires MTH 112, 113, 121, 211 or 311, and 221 with at
least five additional three-hour courses numbered higher than 109 (excluding 381), at least two
of which must be numbered above 300.
The bachelor of arts in mathematics with a concentration in statistics requires MTH 112, 113,
121, 211 or 311, 221, 357, 358, 359, and either 256 or both 109 and another three-hour course
numbered 200 or above (excluding 381).
The bachelor of science in mathematics requires MTH 112, 113, 121, 221, 311, 391, and 392
with at least six additional three-hour courses numbered higher than 109 (excluding 381), at
least three of which must be numbered above 300.
The bachelor of science in mathematics with a concentration in statistics requires MTH 112,
113, 121, 221, 311, 357, 358, 359, 391, 392; one additional three-hour course numbered 300 or
above (excluding 381); and 256 or both 109 and another three-hour course numbered 200 or
above (excluding 381). Additionally, the research and paper prepared for 391 and 392 must be
on a topic related to statistics.
A minor in mathematics requires MTH 112, either 113 or 121, and four other courses of at
least three hours each numbered higher than MTH 105, two of which must be numbered above
200. Credit is allowed for either MTH 107 or 109, but not both. Neither MTH 301, 302, 303, or
304 can count as a course for this minor, but any pair may be so counted. Credit is not allowed
for both MTH 113 and 301; for both MTH 121 and 302; or for both MTH 303 and 317.
A minor in statistics requires five courses chosen from MTH 109, 117, 121, 211, 311, 256, 357,
358, or 359; ANT 380; BIO 380; BUS 201, 202; ECN 215; HES 262, 360; PSY 311, 312; SOC 371,
372; at least two of which must be chosen from MTH 357, 358, 359. Additionally, no more than
one course can be chosen from ANT 380; BIO 380; BUS 201; HES 262; MTH 109; PSY 311; or
SOC 371 to satisfy this minor.
A minimum grade point average of 2.0 in courses which comprise a major or minor in the
department is required for graduation with any major or minor which the department offers.
The department regularly schedules activities in mathematics for students that enhance
the course offerings. Examples are participation in the annual Putnam examination and the
COMAP contest in mathematical modeling; meetings of the mathematics club; seminars and
