Six additional advanced hours (MATH 3301 or above, except for capstone mathematics courses specifically for prospective middle grades or secondary grades mathematics teachers).  The need for a second sequence is fulfilled by Math 3313/4313.

Capstone mathematics courses specifically for prospective middle grade mathematics teachers do not count toward a degree in mathematics. Capstone mathematics courses for secondary mathematics teachers will count only for those working on the BS in Mathematics with Secondary Teaching Pathway.

Minor

Students in non-engineering majors may minor in mathematics by taking 18 hours of mathematics courses with an average GPA in mathematics courses of 2.0, and with at least nine hours of 3000/4000 level courses. The courses that may be counted toward a math minor are MATH 1426 and above, except for capstone mathematics courses specifically for prospective middle or secondary grades mathematics teachers. Nine hours of the minor must be taken in residence. Engineering majors seeking a math minor should refer to the College of Engineering section of this catalog for the requirements for the engineering math minor.

College of Engineering students may minor in mathematics by taking 18 hours of mathematics courses with an average GPA in mathematics courses of 2.0, and with at least nine hours of 3000/4000 level courses. Nine hours of the minor must be taken in residence. The courses that may be counted toward a math minor are MATH 1426 and above, with exceptions listed below for certain majors:

  • MATH 3313 is prohibited for BSCPE and BSIE majors
  • MATH 3318 and MATH 3319 is prohibited for BSME and BSAE majors
  • Only one of MATH 3319 or 3330 may be counted toward the minor
  • Only one of MATH 3318 or 3319 may be counted toward the minor
