The major in Mathematics requires 34 semester hours in Mathematics and must include 52-154, 52-253, 52-353, 52-673, 52-683, 52-753, 52-853, 52-893, and three additional mathematics courses at the 300-level or above, (including at least one from 52-693, 52-763, 52-863, 52-883). The major in Mathematics also requires at least one computer science course at the 100-level or above, preferably to be completed no later than the sophomore year. All majors in the department are required to successfully complete the designated senior seminar in their respective majors or to carry out a Department-approved senior project to satisfy the capstone-experience requirement. Note: A minimum grade of C- must be earned in any course if it is to count as a prerequisite for a subsequent mathematics or computer science course.

The minor in mathematics must include 52-154, 52-253, 52-353, 52-673, and two mathematics courses at the 300-level or above.

The Physical Science Major (Dual Degree, "3-2" Engineering Program) includes 16 hours of Mathematics: 52-154, 52-253, 52-353, 52-673, and 52-753. For more information see the description of the major in the Catalog under Interdisciplinary Programs.

A teaching field in mathematics requires 24 semester hours at least 12 of which must be advanced. The 24 hours must include 52-154, 52-113, 52-253, 52-403, 52-673, and 52-683. The additional six hours would generally be selected from 52-353, 52-373, 52-573, 52-693, or 52- 843. An elementary academic specialization in mathematics requires 18 semester hours with at least nine advanced. Required courses are 52-154, 52-203, 52-113, and 52-673 with two courses from 52-123, 52-253, 52-373, 52-403, and 52-683 recommended as the additional six semester hours.

For descriptions of these courses, see the current SU Catalog.
