The Program
Mathematics & Statistics provide powerful tools for a constantly expanding variety of problems. There is hardly a field to which these intrinsically related sciences have not been applied, often providing capabilities that would have seemed fantastic only a few years ago. The Department of Mathematics & Statistics provides the student with an integrated approach to these areas and, at the same time, permits pursuit of a bachelor's degree with concentration in either of the two disciplines. It is recommended that prospective mathematics and statistics majors elect strong science options in their freshman and sophomore years.
General Information
The student must select either the mathematics or statistics program. All mathematics and statistics majors must have a minor. Bachelor of Science students must select their minors from the approved list (see right menu for approved list). A grade of "C" or better in all prerequisite, major and minor courses is required for graduation. All majors must fulfill the University's general education requirements and the College of Arts and Sciences graduation requirements. The minimum total hours required for all four-year degrees is 120 credit hours.
Honors in Mathematics and Statistics
A student may apply for honors in the major after completing at least Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, and two other mathematics or statistics courses (that count toward the major) at the 3000-level or above. An overall GPA of at least 3.25 for courses at or above the level of Calculus I is required. Once accepted into the program, a student will work with a faculty member to select courses and to complete an honors project. Please see department chair for details.
