Mathematics Option
Bachelor of Science
NSS BS 5804
- Minimum General Studies = 45
including General Studies coursework required by major
- English Language minimum = 9
- Humanities minimum = 9
- Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science minimum = 5 including:
- MATH 115*, Calculus I with Analytic Geometry - 5 hours
- *Students with insufficient preparation will enter the mathematics program at a lower
level increasing total hours needed to complete the major.
- Natural Sciences minimum = 7
- Social and Behavioral Sciences minimum = 9
- Personal Development minimum = 2
- BS Science-related course requirements = 0
- Major Option = 31
- Minor or 2nd Major, minimum = 24
Minors are 24 hours; 18 must be unduplicated. Electing a second major may add as many as
18 required hours to the program. Should 6 hours of the minor also meet other
requirements, the unrestricted electives will be greater.
- Minimum total hours required coursework = 100
- Unrestricted electives in 125 hour program = 25
- Minimum total hours required for BS in Mathematics = 125
