Mathematics as a Second Major  


Mathematics as a Second Major

You can  elect Math as a second major or as a second degree, with
some differences between the two.  In either case, it may add extra
strength to your other major, just by virtue of the course content,
and it may also make your resume stand out above others when you
compete for a job.

There are two options for a second major in Mathematics.

  • Second Major:  To take Math as a second major, in addition to completing the degree sheet for your primary major, you must complete the section on a Math degree sheet marked ``Major Requirements.''
  • Second Bachelor's degree:  To earn a second bachelor's in Math, you must complete both the entire degree sheet for your primary major, the entire Math degree sheet, and  complete a minimum of 30 additional hours.  If you earn a second bachelor's degree, it will be necessary to  have a graduation check for each major and make two diploma applications.

 

Requirements: The requirements for a second major in Mathematics include 46  hours of mathematics and mathematics related courses.  You must have an overall grade point of 2.00 or above with a minimum  grade of C in each  course counting toward the second major in Mathematics.  Requirements include:

 

  •  Nineteen (19) hours of basic math ,  MATH 2144,  2153, 2163, 2233, 3013,  and 3613.
  •  Twenty seven (27) additional hours which satisfy the Mathematics requirements for either the BS or BA degree.
