Requirements: COMMON CORE plus

  • three courses chosen from MAT 310-311 Abstract Algebra I and II and MAT 335-336 Real Analysis I and II;
  • three additional mathematics courses chosen from MAT 303 Theory of Numbers (formerly known as MAT 230); MAT 302 Combinatorics (formerly known as MAT 240); MAT 372 Logic and Set Theory; 311-312 Abstract Algebra II and III; MAT 336 Real Analysis II; MAT 337 Complex Analysis; MAT 370 Advanced Linear Algebra; MAT 320-321 Geometry I and II; MAT 340 Topology; MAT 301 History of Mathematics; MAT 338 Differential Equations; MAT 351-2-3 Probability and Statistics I, II, and III; MAT 348 Applied Statistical Methods; MAT 385-386 Numerical Analysis.

Note: Students interested in graduate study in mathematics are encouraged to take both sequences 310-311-312 and 335-336-337. Students interested in graduate study in economics or finance are encouraged to take 351-352-353 and 335-336.
