Notes:


1 Fulfills General Education requirement. Students should consult the “General Education Requirements ” section of this catalog for a complete listing of all general education requirements.

2 The CSC 115 requirement can also be fulfilled by either CSC 150/150L  or CSC 170/170L . The CSC 215 requirement can be fulfilled by CSC 250. However, to prevent prerequisite conflicts with potential later electives, it is recommended that Mathematics majors take CSC 115 and CSC 215.

Select one course from BIOL 151 BIOL 153 CHEM 112 CHEM 114 GEOL 201/201L ,or PHYS 209 , and one lab in BIOL 151L BIOL 153L CHEM 112L CHEM 114L PHYS 207L , or PHYS 209L  (GEOL 201/201L must be taken co-requisitely regardless).   

4 Select three credits from the MATH Sequence Elective list below.

​​5 Select three credits from the MATH Upper-Level Elective list below.
