Additional Mathematics Requirements
To fulfill their major requirements, all mathematics majors must complete five credits of natural science courses that are acceptable for the respective science majors. These courses also satisfy the General Education Requirement for Mathematics majors. Students interested in pursuing graduate study in Mathematics are also advised to take Advanced Calculus I (Math 423), Advanced Calculus II (Math 424), Complex Analysis (Math 425), and Topology (Math 426).
* Students who do not evident technology competencies may need to take AC101 in order to graduate.
