They are expected to have learned advanced algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus mathematics in high school or have completed MATH 112 and 113 (or Math 115) with a grade of "C-" or better.

Do I need department approval of elective courses for my mathematics program?

All major and minor programs in mathematics must be approved by the Mathematics Department before a student may be accepted into that program. Upper division electives are offered on an irregular basis. Students should plan their programs with their advisers well in advance of their intent to enroll in such courses.

How do I gain entry into a mathematics major?

Prospective majors are eligible to apply for admission to major programs in mathematics either when a) MATH 221 has been completed with a grade of "B" or better or b) Math 221, 222, and 9 additional credits have been completed. All students must earn a minimum GPA of 2.40 in all program courses before being accepted into a mathematics major. Students are urged to apply for admission to their major as soon as they become eligible.

What are the minimum grade point requirements for all math majors and minors?

A student who fails or withdraws from 3 or more mathematics classes may be denied entry into a mathematics major or minor. A student who fails or withdraws from 5 or more mathematics classes may be dropped from a mathematics major or minor. A GPA of 2.25 is required for all major and minor programs for graduation.
