Mathematics

¹

Fulfills the baccalaureate capstone requirement.

²

Acceptable elective courses include any MATH or STAT course at the F300 level or above and CS F201. At least 15 credits must be MATH courses. In some cases, courses with strong mathematical content from other disciplines may be used as electives. Such an elective must be approved by an advisor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The requirement that at least 15 credits be MATH courses still applies.

Learning Outcomes are measurable statements that describe knowledge or skills achieved by students upon completion of the program.

Students graduating from this program will be able to:

• Attain mastery of core mathematical concepts at the baccalaureate level comparable to those at other institutions
• Have opportunities to develop the necessary skills to achieve their career goals in mathematics
• Understand and write formal mathematical arguments; they will demonstrate the ability to solve problems using mathematics and independently craft effective written explanations of mathematical material
