Suggested Plan of Study

Because of the diversity of acceptable programs available, a four-year plan of study is not suggested. Students are cautioned, however, that certain mathematics courses must be taken in the appropriate sequence. Students should consult with a department mathematics adviser to plan a program of study.

 

 

Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

Students graduating with a B.A. or B.S. degree in Mathematics and Statistics are expected to:

Be able to read, write, understand mathematical proofs, and construct mathematical proofs as appropriate.

Be able to reason with and apply mathematical concepts, principles and methods; analyze and evaluate problems (both theoretical and practical) and plan strategies for their solution.

Be able to work collaboratively with others on projects requiring mathematical knowledge and input, to function effectively in a professional workplace related to mathematics, or in a graduate program.
