A major in mathematics leading to a bachelor of science requires at least 47 hours, consisting of 35 hours of required mathematics courses, at least six hours of mathematics electives, and six hours of computer science courses. In addition, the student is required to obtain a minor in one of the sciences, with a minor in physics being highly desirable.
The bachelor of arts in mathematics comprises the same curriculum of mathematics courses as the bachelor of science degree. However, bachelor of arts candidates will select an academic minor in a field other than science.
