MAJOR IN MATHEMATICS. 30 credits, including 16 at the 300-400 level and including 221, 340, 411 and completion of Senior Inquiry in mathematics. Senior Inquiry in mathematics is satisfied by completing 270, 479 and one of 470, 471, 474. Those who studied calculus in high school may have satisfied, depending on their initial placement in college mathematics courses, up to 6 credits in 200-level courses.
Recommended supporting course (3 credits): Philosophy 310.
MAJOR IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS. 42 to 46 credits, including 219, 220, 221, 230, 315, 329, 336, 338, CSC 211, one of 316, 343, 340, 411, work in applied disciplines, and completion of Senior Inquiry in mathematics. Senior Inquiry in mathematics is satisfied by completing 270, 479 and one of 470, 471, 474. Work in applied disciplines is satisfied by either a breadth option or a depth option. The depth option is satisfied by nine credits with a single departmental designation from the choices listed and including the course listed for that choice, which are ACCT 311 and ACCT 321; or BIOL 310 and BIOL 380; or BUSN 474; or CHEM 361 and CHEM 362; or CSC 310 and CSC 370; or ECON 301 and ECON 302; or GEOG 272 and GEOG 373; or GEOL 115 or GEOL 116 and two of three from GEOL 309, GEOL 330, GEOL 403; or PHYS 311 and PHYS 320. The breadth option is satisfied by three courses with three different department designations from ASTR 311, ASTR 315, BIOL 310, BIOL 380, BUSN 313, BUSN 331, CHEM 122, CSC 212, ECON 201, ECON 202, GEOG 272, GEOG 373, GEOL 101, GEOL 115, GEOL 116, PHIL 312, PHYS 201. Those who studied calculus in high school may have satisfied, depending on their initial placement in college mathematics courses, up to 6 credits in 200-level courses.
Actuarial Science Note: Students who wish to pursue work in actuarial science should take MATH 316 to fulfill the Mathematics depth option. In addition, other recommended courses include BUSN 205 Business Writing, BUSN 301 Management, BUSN 321 Marketing, BUSN 331 Business Finance, COMM 104 Public Speaking, and CSC 212 Introduction to Computer Science II, ECON 201 Principles of Macroeconomics, and ECON 202 Principles of Microeconomics.
