Minimum required credits for the program: 49

Requirements for the program

EXPERIENTIAL COMPONENT: Every student will either perform an internship (MAT 3810), student teach (EDU 4850), tutor, and/or make research presentations (MAT 4710).

Note: Majors are encouraged to complete a minor in another discipline or have a supportive area approved by the department. Independent study courses for the major are to be used only under unusual and compelling circumstances. Specifically, students will be limited to one independent study for required mathematics courses and no more than two for the overall major.
