Mathematics Requirements for any Interdepartmental Major having Mathematics as a Component:

A student seeking an interdepartmental major with mathematics as a component must submit a proposal for approval by the department chair.  The proposal will give a rationale for the choice of an interdepartmental major and indicate the list of courses in both departments that are to be part of the major.

An interdepartmental major with mathematics as a component requires eight courses in the department (MTH or STA)  numbered 101 or higher, including the following courses.

Advanced placement credit may be used to satisfy at most two of the eight required courses.

• MTH 113 - AP Calculus

• or

• MTH 110 - Calculus 1: Differential Calculus

• and

• MTH 112 - Calculus 2: Integral Calculus

• or

• MTH 100 - Calculus with Precalculus 1

• and

• MTH 101 - Calculus with Precalculus 2

• and

• MTH 102 - Calculus with Precalculus 3

•  

• MTH 115 - Calculus 3: Differential Vector Calculus and Matrix Theory
• MTH 199 - Introduction to Logic and Set Theory

• and

• Either two courses from List 1 or one from List 1 and one from List 2 below.

Requirements for Honors in Math:

Candidates for honors in mathematics or in any interdisciplinary program of which mathematics is a part must fulfill the college-wide criteria for honors. In addition, they must have a grade point average of at least 3.5 in courses in the mathematics department numbered 199 and above, take at least two non-thesis MTH courses at the 400-level, and either complete a two-term honors thesis in the mathematics department with a grade of A or A-, or complete a one-term honors thesis in the mathematics department with a grade of A or A- and take an additional non-thesis 400-level MTH course.
