The department offers two majors: mathematics and mathematics/statistics. For purposes of advising students, advanced courses may be classified as follows:
| Applied | Foundational | Statistical |
|---|---|---|
| 235 : Operations Research | 365 : Geometry | 321 : Probability & Statistics I |
| 253 : Multivariable Calculus | 454 : Real Analysis | 322 : Probability & Statistics II |
| 351 : Ordinary Differential Equations | 456 : Complex Analysis | 327 : Applied Statistics I |
| 452 : Partial Differential Equations | 459 : Topology | 328 : Applied Statistics II |
| 462 : Numerical Analysis | 471 : Abstract Algebra I | |
| 472 : Abstract Algebra II |
Only two of Mathematics 321, 322, 327, and 328 may count towards a Mathematics Plan I or Plan II major.
Mathematics - Plan I (Theory): 220, 240, either 454 or 471, a computer science course numbered 150, 151 or 200, and a minimum of three additional courses in the math department numbered 200 or above, including at least one additional from 365, 454, 456, 459, 471, or 472.
Mathematics - Plan II (Applied): 220, 240, either 454 or 471, a computer science course numbered 150, 151 or 200, and four additional courses in the math department numbered 200 or above.
Mathematics - Plan III (Teaching): A Plan I mathematics major that includes 321, 365, and 471. Complete one of math 235, 253, 322, 351. Credit hours of required and elective mathematics courses must total a minimum of 30 hours. See education department for secondary education minor requirements.
Mathematics/Statistics: 220, 240, 253, 321, 322, 327, 328, and computer science 150, 151 or 200. Mathematics 454 recommended. (A student may not major in both mathematics and mathematics/statistics.)
Mathematics Minor: At least 17 hours in mathematics, including 240 and two additional courses numbered 200 or above.
Required for a second teaching area: At least 24 hours in mathematics including 151, 152, 220, 240, 321, and 365; Computer Science 150, 151 or 200; and Education 352.
