Suggested Sequence for Math Majors
The following program provides an appropriate background for students planning advanced study in mathematics. It is suggested as a sample only, and the student may make other choices in courses and sequence. Students planning to major in mathematics are advised to consult with the Department and their academic advisers as soon as possible after admission for guidance in planning a program.
A minimum of 60 credits is required for the A.S. degree.
