Mathematics, B.S.

General Education Requirements - 43 Credit Hours

Mathematics majors must meet the Baccalaureate Degree Requirements (Bachelor’s Degrees)  as set out in General Education Program  

• Mathematics and Natural Science Requirements: Met by MAT 2804  
• Recommended Physical Science Course: Met by PHY 2113  

Global Studies and Social Science Requirements

One course must be selected from each of the following lists of Global Studies courses and Social Science courses.

School of Arts and Sciences Additional Natural Science Requirements - 5 Credit Hours

Students in the School of Arts and Sciences must take five additional hours of natural science: 1 lab to accompany the course taken for general education [BIO 1043 , BIO 1023 , ESC 1043 , OCY 1043 , PHY 1033 , PHY 1063 , or PHY 2113  ], and one additional natural science course and accompanying lab. The two natural sciences must be in different areas (both cannot be in biological sciences). In sum, students are required to take a minimum of 8 hours of natural science courses: two natural science courses (in two different areas) along with the labs associated with each.
