Notes: 

  • You must include at least two writing emphasis courses, at least one of which must be at the 300 level or above.  These courses may be in mathematics or outside mathematics.   ENG 308 (Technical Writing) is particularly recommended.
  • MTH electives may be chosen freely from the list in the catalog.  Some courses with an applied and/or computational emphasis are MTH 245 (probability and statistics), MTH 461 (mathematical physics), MTH 311 (number theory), and MTH 317 (graph theory).
  • Free electives must include at least 5 credits at the 300/400 level to meet the 40 credit minimum required for graduation.  You are encouraged to choose math, computer science, or science courses as free electives.
  • Free electives must include at least 5 credits at the 300/400 level to meet the 40 credit minimum required for graduation.  You are encouraged to choose math, computer science, or science courses as free electives.
