Bachelor of Arts (BA) - Major in Mathematics (6910)
A goal of the mathematics major is to prepare students for mathematical careers in business, government, education, or industry. All students pursuing mathematics a major complete elementary probability and statistics, the calculus sequence, linear algebra, a proofs course, and a course in professional skills for mathematicians and statisticians. Concentrations allow specialization beyond this core based on a student’s career goals.
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers three concentrations, Mathematics (6911), Statistics (6912), and General Mathematics and Statistics (6914), leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in mathematics. The department offers five concentrations, Mathematics (6911), Statistics (6912), General Mathematics and Statistics (6914), Applied Mathematics (6915), and Actuarial Science (6916), leading to the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in mathematics. Students pursuing any concentration are required to complete general education requirements and the appropriate BA or BS requirements. Students not prepared to enter calculus upon admission to the university may use elective hours to take college algebra, trigonometry, or both.
For students pursuing a double major in both mathematics and computer science, MATH 340 /CSCI 340 may be allowed only in the requirements for a mathematics major or computer science major but not both.

Mathematics Concentration (6911)
Students interested in pursuing a graduate degree in mathematics should complete the mathematics concentration. The mathematics concentration requires a differential equations course, sequences in real analysis and abstract algebra, and additional upper division mathematics and/or statistics courses.

COURSEWORK REQUIRED FOR THE DEGREE
Guidance for choosing general education courses:
MATH 210 and MATH 251 are required for the mathematics major and are also options in the general education core curriculum requirements. A student using either of these courses to simultaneously satisfy general education core curriculum and major requirements may need to complete additional elective coursework to meet the minimum number of credit hours required for the degree.
