Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) Requirements - 43 Credit Hours

Mathematics majors must meet the Baccalaureate Degree Requirements (Bachelor’s Degrees)  as set out in Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) Program . The Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) Mathematics and Science requirement is fulfilled through other courses in this major. Only 37 of the 43 credit hours of the Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) program will still be required for the completion of this program.

Mathematics: Concentration in Physics, B.S. Program - 76 Credit Hours

Additional Required Credit Hours - 7 Credit Hours

These additional hours may be fulfilled by a minor, second major, general electives taken concurrently, previous coursework taken at PBA or through transfer credits.
