Mathematics majors must declare a concentration chosen from Professional Mathematics or Mathematics Education. Students opting the Professional Mathematics concentration will choose from tracks in general mathematics, advanced mathematics, business, statistics, and industrial mathematics.

All courses in the Mathematics major or minor (including supporting coursework) must be completed with a grade of C (2.00) or better. All courses transferred from other institutions for credit in the Mathematics major or minor must carry a grade of C (2.00) or better and be approved by the department chair.

The following specialized courses do not count toward a Mathematics major or minor: MATH 1010 , MATH 1410 , MATH 1420 , MATH 1530 , MATH 1630 , MATH 1710 , MATH 1720 , MATH 1730 , MATH 1810 MATH 3300 , MATH 3310 , and MATH 4010 . However, MATH 1630 , MATH 1730 , and MATH 1810  may count toward a minor in Mathematics for Managerial, Social, and Life Sciences.

Industrial Mathematics Track

The industrial mathematics track offers students a program of study that incorporates the areas of mathematics that contribute to business and industry. Coursework is designed to produce graduates who have strong qualifications that make them competitive for positions in industry and provides a solid foundation for students interested in pursuing graduate study in the area.
