Mathematics
Major:
- BACHELOR OF ARTS IN
MATHEMATICS
- BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
IN MATHEMATICS
To obtain either the bachelor of arts or
the bachelor of science degree, students in the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences are required to complete 80 quarter hours of liberal studies
courses. The mathematical requirements for both the degrees of bachelor
of arts in mathematics and the bachelor of science in mathematics are
divided into two parts: a common core in mathematics and a set of six
advanced courses in a specialized mathematical concentration. Students
whose interests span more than one concentration may consult with a mathematics
faculty advisor to create an individualized program of six advanced courses
to complete the requirements for the degree. To obtain a bachelor of science
degree, students must complete an additional 16 quarter hours of course
work in the natural sciences or in computer science.
Double Majors
:
Students in programs leading to a B.A. or a B.S. degree in any school
or college of the university may double major in mathematics and another
field. To do so, they must satisfy all the degree requirements for a major
in their home college or school and also complete the mathematics course
requirements for a bachelor's degree in mathematics.
Scheduling
of Upper-Level Courses: When planning their schedules,
students should expect that the sequences MAT 310-311-312, and MAT 351-352-353
will be offered once each year, beginning in the autumn quarter. Certain
other 300-level courses will be offered in alternate years only. Students
should consult closely with their advisors to develop a complete program
in one of the concentrations.
Performance
Requirements: Mathematics majors must complete mathematics
course prerequisites with a grade of C or better. This requirement may
be waived only with the consent of the department chair.
Bachelor of Science
Degree versus Bachelor of Arts Degree:
For B.S. degree in Mathematics, in addition to fulfilling the requirements for
one of the concentrations below, students must earn 16 quarter hours in the
natural sciences or in computer science.
LIBERAL STUDIES
REQUIREMENTS:
- Liberal Studies Core:
28 quarter hours required. For more information,
visit click here.
- First Year Program:
(16 quarter hours required)
Discover Chicago or Explore Chicago, Focal
Point Seminar, and Composition and Rhetoric I and II.
- Sophomore Seminar:
(4 quarter hours required).
Sophomore Seminar on Multiculturalism in the United States.
- Junior Year Experiential
Learning: (4 quarter hours required).
If your junior year experiential learning
requirement also fulfills a major field requirement you may substitute
a liberal studies domain elective (from outside your major field area)
or the third course in the modern language option for this requirement.
- Senior Capstone:
(4 quarter hours required).
Mathematical Sciences requires students
majoring in Mathematical Sciences to complete the senior capstone in
Mathematical Sciences, unless you are a double major
and/or in the Honors
Program. If you are a double major and/or
in the Honors
Program you must follow the capstone guidelines for that area if
the capstone is required.
- Arts and Literature:
(12 quarter hours required).
A most 2 courses from the same department
or program.
- Philosophical Inquiry:
(8 quarter hours required).
- Religious Dimensions:
(8 quarter hours required).
4 quarter hours in patterns and problems,
and 4 quarter hours in traditions in context.
- Scientific Inquiry:
(4 quarter hours required which must include
a lab component).
- Self, Society and the
Modern World: (12 quarter hours
required).
At most 2 courses from the same department
or program.
- Understanding the Past:
(8 quarter hours required).
4 quarter hours of history pre-1800 and
4 quarter hours of history primarily between 1800-1945. In addition,
courses must be from two different categories; 1) Asia, 2) Latin America,
3) Africa, 4) North America or Europe and 5) intercontinental or comparative.
Although study in the mathematical
sciences contributes to a student's liberal education, courses offered
by the Department
of Mathematical Sciences are not applied towards liberal studies
requirements for the mathematical sciences major. Exceptions to
this rule are the junior experiential learning and the senior capstone
requirements.
