The department adheres to the admissions requirements established by the University Admissions Office. Entering freshmen will be given a mathematics placement test. Based upon the test results and high school performance, the student will be placed into an appropriate course. Courses below MAT 151 cannot be used towards the mathematics major requirements. Students who major in mathematics should plan their schedule in consultation with a faculty advisor.

The requirements for a mathematics major include the following mathematics courses: MAT 151, 152, 206, 208, 251, 260, 310, 311, 312, 320, 416, 417, 425, 426, 431, plus two mathematics electives (Mathematics courses level 300 or above except MAT 300, 305, 323, 360, 423, 424, 520, 521, 522). Also required are six hours in computer science at the level of CSC 151 and above, and eight hours in Physics (PHY 203, 204, 215, and 216). Mathematics majors must show competency through the intermediate level of one modern foreign language. Majors must earn a grade of C or better in each required mathematics, computer science and physics course.

Mathematics placement is dependent upon the student's preparation.

Foreign Language must be completed at the intermediate level. Students who have had three years of a modern foreign language in high school should qualify for intermediate level courses.

Mathematics Electives must be chosen from 300, 400 and 500 level mathematics courses excluding the required courses listed above, MAT 300, 305, 323, 360, 423, 424, 520, 521, and 522.

Technical Electives must be approved by student's advisor and chairperson.
