Mathematics Major
Mathematics Option
Bachelor of Science
- General Studies Program Hours = 45
including General Studies coursework required by major
- Foundational Core (Written, Math, Oral, Democracy) = 14 including:
- MATH 115*, Calculus I with Analytic Geometry - 5 hours
- *Students with insufficient preparation will enter the mathematics program at a lower level,
increasing the total hours needed to complete the major.
- Portal = 3
- Distribution = 25
- Aesthetics minimum = 3
- Humanities minimum = 6
- Social Sciences minimum = 6
- Natural Sciences minimum = 7
- Analytical and Quantitative Thought minimum = 0
