Requirements for the Mathematics Curriculum
Coursework for the Mathematics curriculum includes the following:

• Required mathematics core courses (18-20 credits): MATH 130, 131, and 132 (or 140 and 141); 240 (or 246); 241; and STAT 230 (or 200)


• Course related to Mathematics (3 credits): Chosen from any ACCT or FINC courses; CHEM 103 and 113; CMIS 102A, 141A, 160 (or 170, or CMSC 150), and 241 (or 242); ECON 201, 203, 430, and 440; and PHYS 111 or higher


• Required computing course (3 credits): IFSM 201 or CMST 303


• Electives (2-4 credits): Any courses related to interests and goals

The following course sequence will fulfill all the requirements for the Associate of Arts degree in Mathematics. Since some recommended courses fulfill more than one requirement, substituting courses for those listed may make it necessary to take additional courses to meet degree requirements. Students should consult an advisor whenever taking advantage of other options. Information on alternate courses (where allowable) to fulfill general education requirements (in communications, arts and humanities, behavioral and social sciences, biological and physical sciences, and mathematics) may be found on the GER page.
