Recommended Four Year Course Sequence

This list includes the core classes as guidelines to complete the Mathematics, BS major in four years. It is one example of how the program can be completed in four years; faculty advisors assist students in choosing among the options in a given semester to insure progress towards completion of the program and are equipped with a more detailed, block-by-block plan that you can use. Students should complete general education and elective requirements while working with these guidelines.
