Mathematics, BS, Two-Year Plan

Transfer plan for the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

Sample Plan for New Students

The sample shows a typical plan to complete the degree based on current degree requirements and course offerings, and is not the only possible plan. The number of credits for each course is in parentheses. Some classes have prerequisites, and the order of courses in the sample plan accounts for these. Each new student, in consultation with their advisor, will complete a personal academic plan tailored to their specific goals and interests.
