Degrees and Programs The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Science in Education degrees. The department's programs include undergraduate majors and minors in mathematics, mathematics education, and statistics. Each program requires a balanced selection of coursework from both pure and applied areas in the mathematical sciences. Majors can thus prepare for immediate employment in the mathematical sciences or for additional study after graduation. Test-Out Policy Undergraduate students may test out of certain lower division courses in mathematics.
Examinations are available each semester during the first week of class.
See the department chair for courses that are available for test-out. As long as proper prerequisites are satisfied, all mathematics courses are open to enrollment, regardless of whether or not advanced standing has been granted. In exceptional cases, a student who has not met the criteria may appeal to a departmental committee. The committee will hear the appeal and decide whether advanced standing should be granted. Core Requirements for Majors in Mathematics and Statistics To achieve the common objectives, all majors in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics are required to complete a common core of 29 semester hours and participate in senior assessment.
