Notes:

For the bachelor of science in Mathematics, a student must have a departmental grade point average of at least 2.00 in all MATH courses 300 level or higher.

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. 

³ 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 two courses from CSC 484 Database Management Systems , ENGM 435/535 Optimization Techniques , IENG 362 Stochastic Models , or IENG 415/515 Decision Analysis    

⁵ Select two courses from ACCT 210 Principles of Accounting I, ACCT 211 Principles of Accounting II, BADM 310 Business Finance, or IENG 302 Engineering Economics . ACCT 210, ACCT 211, and BADM 310 are offered through other BOR schools.
