What you'll study

The curriculum emphasizes core and advanced mathematical topics. Course topics specifically include calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, mathematical modeling, and a senior seminar capstone. The program also covers discrete processes (set theory, logic and proof, mathematical induction, combinatorics, graph theory), abstract algebra topics (group theory, cyclic groups, permutations, Lagrange's Theorem, product groups, the First Isomorphism Theorem, finite abelian groups), and numerical algorithmic processes and their efficiency and accuracy. Students may complement the major with minors such as computer science, data science, or statistics.

Entry requirements

Graduation requirements stated by the program include completion of at least 124 semester hours (some majors may require more), a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher, and a minimum GPA of 2.25 in the designated major hours. Additional department‑prescribed requirements and completion of all general education requirements are also required.
