1 This course not included in 120-hour curriculum.
2 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.
3 Upper-division mathematics courses  (3000 or higher).  The student must complete three upper-division sequences. The approved sequences are organized into pure mathematics and applied mathematics categories as shown below. The student must complete at least one sequence from each category and students not completing MATH 4470-4480 must complete MATH 4110-4120.
  Applied Mathematics Sequence List: MATH 4210-4220; 4250-4260; two of the three: 4350, 4360 or 4050; and 4470-4480.
  Pure Mathematics Sequence List: MATH 3510-3520, 4110-4120, 4310-4320, and 4530-4540.

A minor of 15 hours, including at least six 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. 

To allow students to prepare for different career paths, four optional tracks are available: Acturial, Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, and Statistics. The following are courses recommended (but not required) for students in each track.

Actuarial Track: 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 Track: MATH 2120, 3810, 4120, 4510, 4540. The sequence requirement should be met by choosing two sequences from the Applied Math Sequence List. It is recommended that the student minor in Computer Science.

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

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