A student majoring in mathematics must complete 57 quarter hours in the
major, consisting of the core requirements and one of three options. In
addition, the student must complete the required cognates, the general
studies program, and all baccalaureate degree requirements as outlined
in this bulletin. A student contemplating graduate work is encouraged
to take a foreign language sequence. Senior students are required to
take the Major Field Achievement Test (MFAT) in mathematics.
