Mathematics Major Description

The major in mathematics consists of at least eleven courses, four semesters of a 1-credit math seminar, and a senior capstone experience. In addition to all foundational courses, each major must take a computing course, a theory course, and three electives, at least one of which must be a MAT course.

• Students successfully completing an approved extended course of study in an engineering program may complete only two electives, at least one of which is a MAT course.
• Students intending to pursue graduate work should take both theory courses.
