Classification: Major, Minor
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
The program also will teach analytical and critical thinking skills that can be applied to virtually any career, as well as mathematical theory and problem-solving methods directed toward a variety of real-world applications.
The number of courses required for the major is 13 (42-45 semester hours). At least four of these courses (12 semester hours) must be at the 300-level or above. Internships may not be used to fulfill major requirements.
Students majoring in physics or computer science may minor in mathematics. Internships may not be used to fulfill minor requirements.
The total number of courses required for the minor is 6 (20 semester hours).
