The grade point average of all mathematics courses taken must be at least 2.0. Students considering a minor in mathematics are encouraged to consult a faculty adviser to design a program appropriate to their interests. Honors students must complete three approved upper division courses beyond those required for the major. These courses should be chosen to prepare the student for the senior honors project. Honors students enroll in Mathematics 499 to prepare this project, which may be substituted for Mathematics 300 in satisfying the major requirements.
