The applied mathematics major is intended primarily for students interested in applications of mathematics to other disciplines.
Admission Requirements for Applied Mathematics Major
Admission to any major in the mathematics department will be considered after the first two quarters of calculus are taken (MATH 172 and MATH 173). Transfer students with a calculus background will generally take and successfully complete (2.0 or higher) 10 hours of math beyond calculus to be admitted to a major. Students must meet with an advisor in the mathematics department before being considered for a major. In addition, students must earn a minimum grade of C in any course that fulfills a major requirement.
