1 Courses should be chosen from 1010, 1020, 2010 and 2020 in a single language.  This requirement may also be satisfied by demonstrating proficiency at the level of 2020.
2 Upper-division mathematics courses  (3000 or higher).  The student must complete one sequence from MATH 3510-3520, 4110-4120, 4310-4320, and 4530-4540, one sequence from MATH 4210-4220; 4250-4260; 4350, 4360 or 4050; and 4470-4480; and one additional sequence to be chosen from either list. Students not completing MATH 4470-4480 must complete MATH 4120.
3 This course not included in 120-hour curriculum.

A minor of 15 hours, including at least 6 upper division hours must be completed in a coherent program of study.  The criterion for coherence may be met (1) by taking all minor courses in a single discipline (i.e., courses with the same prefix) or (2) by taking the courses prescribed in an approved interdisciplinary minor. 

The Department offers courses to meet the needs of the students with varying career objectives. Four options, actuarial, applied mathematics, pure mathematics, and statistics, are available. The following are courses recommended (but not required) for students in each option.

Actuarial: MATH 3070-3080, 4210-4220, 4470-4480, 4540, ECON 2010-2020, ACCT 2110-2120, FIN 2000, 3610, DS 2810, 3620. Students who wish to prepare for the second Actuarial Exam should obtain permission from the Graduate School to take MATH 6270.

Applied Mathematics: MATH 2120, 3810, 4120, 4510, 4540. The sequence requirement should be met by choosing two sequences from the second group. It is recommended that the student minor in Computer Science.

Pure Mathematics: MATH 3520, 4120, 4310, 4350-4360, 4540.

Statistics: MATH 3070-3080, 4210, 4470-4480, 4540.
