The basic major in applied mathematics consists of at least 40 credits of mathematics and statistics courses. Because different program emphases are possible, students should consult with an advisor as soon as possible concerning the alternatives.
The Department also offers a program for students pursuing a major in applied mathematics leading to graduation with departmental honors in applied mathematics. This program is designed for students who are considering graduate study in mathematics or a related field that makes use of mathematics.
Although not required, it is highly recommended that honors degree candidates take the intermediate honors courses Math 1185 and 0450 during the freshman or sophomore year.
Students interested in the departmental honors program should consult with the undergraduate director or department chairperson as early as possible, preferably during the freshman or sophomore year, even if they have not yet declared a major.
The department's Undergraduate Committee is responsible for certifying students who graduate with departmental honors in mathematics. The Undergraduate Committee is empowered to make minor changes in requirements based on individual circumstances.
