The Department of Mathematics offers a minor, Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in mathematics. At the graduate level, the department offers a Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.S.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in mathematics.

Other Information

Courses that meet the mathematics requirement for the B.A., B.M., and B.F.A. degrees in the College of Liberal Arts are the mathematics courses at the 100-level or above except for Math 245 and Math 246. Math 115, Elementary Statistics, has no prerequisite and is recommended for any non-mathematics major.

For the M.A., M.S., and Ph.D., A reading knowledge of French or German is desirable for graduate study in mathematics, especially for students working toward a doctoral degree, but is not a requirement for the master's degree.

Students are generally required to participate in the teaching of mathematics lectures as part of their graduate training. The department offers fellowships, assistantships, and other financial awards to assist graduate students in their studies.
