B.S. Option 1 (Applied)
Mathematics B.S. Eight-Semester Degree Programs
Students wishing to follow the eight-semester degree plan should see page 42 in the Academic Regulations chapter for university requirements of the program. The B.S. degree in mathematics includes three options: Industrial, Graduate Study, and Statistics. The eight-semester plan for each is shown below. The following eight-semester plan refers to additional B.S. Core Requirement Areas (areas a, b, c, d, e, and f) found on page 203 at the end of this chapter. Core requirement hours may vary by individual, based on placement and previous credit granted. Once all core requirements are met, students may substitute a three-hour (or more) general elective in place of a core area.
