A typical student planning to get a B.S. in Mathematics (who in this example entered SPU in the fall of 2007) would follow the schedule below. Courses in normal print are required for the major, while courses in italics are upper division electives. A total of 21 credits of upper division math electives are required for the B.S. Note that MAT 2375 and 2376 (which are listed in the requirements for the B.S. prior to fall 2008) have been replaced by a new single course, MAT 3360. Students may take either 2375/2376 OR 3360 to fulfill the degree requirements. Note that the courses listed below reflect the old requirements for the B.A. Students who enter SPU in the fall of 2008 or later should see the sample schedule for new degree requirements.
* Note that MAT 4402 and 4403 (Modern Algebra I and II) are both required courses. MAT 4402 is offered every year, but MAT 4403 is only offered alternating years. Students may wish to wait to take MAT 4402 until their senior year so that the two courses are taken in consecutive quarters rather than having a yearlong gap between them. ** MAT 4363 and 4830 are strongly recommended as two of the elective courses for the B.S. Note that a number of courses are offered on alternate years. It is therefore quite important that students wishing to major in mathematics start out by taking the calculus sequence in their freshman year. Also, since a number of upper divisional courses require MAT 3749 as a prerequisite, it is important to take that course during the Autumn quarter of the junior year. |
