Mathematical science students are encouraged to take CS 120 and PHYC 120. PHYC 120 satisfies the TIER 1 natural science requirement in the University Core Curriculum. Students are strongly advised to deepen their understanding of aspects of the program by selecting additional courses in areas such as business, computer science, finance, economics, or physics. By selecting additional courses appropriately, a student can earn a related minor in computer science, physics, or foundations of business for actuarial science and mathematics majors.

Undergraduate students who meet the graduate school requirements may take MATH 612 (Abstract Algebra 2) and/or MATH 672 (Real Analysis 2) for elective credit, and these two courses can be double counted towards a master’s degree in mathematics under the accelerated master’s program (see section AMP in the graduate catalog).  Students interested in the AMP should consult with our graduate programs director before scheduling their Junior year.

Undergraduate students who meet the graduate school requirements may take MATH 612 (Abstract Algebra 2) and/or MATH 672 (Real Analysis 2) for elective credit. Up to seven (7) graduate credit hours can be double counted towards a BA/BS and master’s degree in statistics under the accelerated master’s program (see section AMP in the graduate catalog).  Students interested in the AMP should consult with our graduate programs director before scheduling their Senior year.

Total Credit Hours: 56-57
