The Mathematics
Major these 21 specified credits - MATH 153, 158, 250, 254 or 255, 260, 311, 351, STAT 213 or 311 at least 9 credits of advanced courses chosen by students according to their career plans as listed in the 3 options below. Option 1 – for careers in business, industry or government: required courses are MATH 352 or 353, and either STAT 311 or MATH 385; an additional course is chosen in consultation with a departmental advisor. Option 2 – for graduate study toward the PhD: required courses are MATH 352, and either MATH 312 or 340 or 353; an additional course is chosen in consultation with a departmental advisor. Option 3 – for prospective secondary school teachers: required courses are MATH 331 and STAT 311; an additional course is chosen in consultation with a departmental advisor. Prospective elementary school teachers should see a departmental advisor about selecting one of the above options. There is also an interdisciplinary major that includes some science courses. Approval of a departmental advisor is needed. There is a NEW Bioinformatics Option to provide students with a working knowledge of computing and biological sciences for bioengineering careers in bioinformatics, the pharmaceutical industry, and the biotechnology industry. Required courses (in addition to the core): STAT 311 or STAT 213, STAT 319, CSCI 132, CSCI 232. In order to enroll in the Bioinformatics Option within the mathematics major, students must obtain an average of B- or better in the following courses: STAT 213, CHEM 104-105, CHEM 222, BIOL 100. In addition, no more than one (1) of these four courses may be passed with a grade of C. Students following this Option must take the following natural science courses, which will fulfill the requirements for a minor in Biological Sciences or in Chemistry: CHEM 102-103, CHEM 104-105, CHEM 222, BIOL 100, BIOL 300, BIOL 425. Another requirement for a major in mathematics is entry-level proficiency in symbolic computation. This proficiency may be satisfied by completing either MATH 126 or MATH 154 or a departmental exam. If MATH 150 is completed, then MATH 154 should be taken in place of MATH 126. Recommended Minors The
Statistics Major these 29 specified credits – MATH 250, 260, 254 or 354, STAT 212, 213, 214, 311, 312, 313 at least 3 other credits of statistics or mathematics courses approved by the undergraduate statistics advisor. There is a NEW Bioinformatics Sequence to provide students with a working knowledge of computing and biological sciences for bioengineering careers in bioinformatics, the pharmaceutical industry, and the biotechnology industry. Required courses (in addition to the core): CSCI 132, CSCI 232. In order to enroll in the Bioinformatics Sequence within the statistics major, students must obtain an average of B- or better in the following courses: STAT 213, CHEM 104-105, CHEM 222, BIOL 100. In addition, no more than one (1) of these four courses may be passed with a grade of C. Students following the Bioinformatics Sequence must take the following natural science courses, which will fulfill the requirements for a minor in Biological Sciences or in Chemistry: CHEM 102-103, CHEM 104-105, CHEM 222, BIOL 100, BIOL 300, BIOL 425.
