Bachelor of Science program in Mathematics

The Bachelor of Science program in Mathematics is designed to give students a broad background in classical mathematics, while remaining flexible enough to allow students to tailor the program to meet the needs of their career objectives or to prepare them for graduate study in math, statistics or a cognate field.

Options within the B.S. program in Mathematics include the minor in Computer Science, the minor in Probability and Statistics, and a five-year program leading to both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Mathematics. Students in the B.S. program in Mathematics may choose to participate in cooperative education, in which periods of study alternate with periods of practical work experience.

In addition to the University’s core curriculum, the following courses are required for the B.S. degree in Mathematics.
 

• CS 128 and CS 128L Introduction to Software Application Development, with lab
• MT 135 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I
• MT 136 Calculus and Analytic Geometry II
• MT 233 Calculus and Analytic Geometry III
• MT 341 Introduction to Abstract Algebra
• MT 342 Introduction to Linear Algebra
• MT 372 Discrete and Continuous Modeling
• MT 420 Probability & Statistics I
• MT 431 Advanced Calculus of One Variable
• MT 441 Abstract Algebra
• MT 452 Elementary Topology
• and four elective courses in mathematics, chosen in consultation with one's advisor in the Department.

Students obtaining a B.S. in Mathematics must also pass a comprehensive exam.
