Mathematics (BS)

Second Writing Requirement:

A Second Writing Requirement  approved by the College of Arts and Sciences. This course must be taken after completion of 60 credit hours, completed with a minimum grade of C-, and the section enrolled must be designated as satisfying the requirement in the academic term completed.

Chosen from the following:

• ENGL 312 - Written Communications in Business Credit(s): 3

• or

• ENGL 410 - Technical Writing Credit(s): 3

• or

• MATH 308 - Historical Development of Mathematical Concepts and Ideas Credit(s): 3

• or

• MATH 512 - Contemporary Applications of Mathematics

Foreign Language:

• Completion of the intermediate-level course (107 or 112) in an ancient or modern language with minimum grades of D-.
  • The number of credits (0-12) needed and initial placement will depend on the number of years of high school study of foreign language.
    • Students with four or more years of high school work in a single foreign language, or who have gained proficiency in a foreign language by other means, may attempt to fulfill the requirement in that language by taking an exemption examination  through the Languages, Literatures and Cultures Department.

College of Arts and Sciences Breadth Requirements:

The College Breadth Requirements are taken in addition to the University Breadth Requirement. Up to three credits from each of the University Breadth Requirement categories may be used to simultaneously satisfy these College of Arts and Sciences Breadth Requirements. College Breadth courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C-.

A total of 18 credits from Groups A, B, and C is required with a minimum of six credits in each group. The six credits from each group could be from the same area.

• Group A: Creative Arts and Humanities  
• Group B: History and Cultural Change
