BA in Mathematics The curriculum established for this degree is designed to provide the foundation for a liberal education through a well-rounded study of the humanities and fine arts, the physical, biological, and social sciences, and mathematics. It also provides the factual basis and the insights requisite for specialized study and professional work in these fields. For major requirement Twenty-one semester hours of upper level courses in mathematics are required and total MATH hours must be at least 33. A minimum of eighteen semester hours is required, six of which must be advanced. The minor is subject to the requirements of and must be approved by the minor department. Elective courses: Additional courses, sufficient to bring the total to 120 semester hours must be taken. BS in Mathematics The B.S. degree permits a greater degree of specialization than that afforded by the B.A. For major requirements Twenty-seven semester hours of upper level courses in mathematics are required. The mathematics requirements are similar with those for the B.A. degree except that two additional advanced mathematics courses are required. Total MATH hours must be at least 39, Candidates for the B.S. degree must choose their minor from the following: actuarial science, atmospheric science, biology, chemistry, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, economics, electrical engineering, exercise and sport sciences, geology, geophysics, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, microbiology, petroleum engineering, physics, or zoology. A minor must include 18 semester hours, 6 of which must be advanced. In particular, an engineering minor must consist of 18 semester hours in only one department. Courses counted for the minor must be approved by the minor department. Candidates for the B.S. degree must complete 8 hours of laboratory science (biology, botany, chemistry, geosciences, microbiology, physical geography, physics, or zoology) outside their minor area. Additional courses must be taken which, together with the above, are sufficient to total to 120semester hours.
