Required Cognate Concentration, Minor, or Second Major
The course of study for a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in
mathematics requires selection of a cognate concentration, a minor,
or a second major, approved by the student’s faculty advisor and the
chair of the mathematics department. Approved selections include
Biology, Business and Economics, Chemistry, Computer Science,
Engineering, and Environmental Science. In consultation with
faculty advisors and the mathematics department chair, a student
can develop a proposal for a cognate concentration, minor, or a
second major other than those listed. Requirements for approved
concentrations, minors, and second majors are as follows:
A. Concentration in Biology
A minor or a second major in biology.
B. Concentration in Business and Economics
BA 203-204 Principles of Accounting I and II
BA 313 Managerial Finance
BA 375 Fundamentals of Management
BA 409 Operations Research
EC 202 Principles of Economics II and
EC 201 Principles of Economics I
or EC 203 Project Management Economics
Plus 3 additional BA, CS, or EC credits at the 200 level or above approved by the mathematics department.
C. Concentration in Chemistry
A minor or a second major in chemistry.
D. Concentration in Computer Science
A minor or a second major in computer science.
E. Concentration in Engineering
CH 101-102 General Chemistry
ENGR 104 Engineering Graphics and CAD
ENGR 302 Engineering Mechanics I: Statics
PHYS 205-206 Engineering Physics I and II

or ENWR 301 Business Writing (for the Business and Economics Concentration only)
To earn a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in mathematics, a student
must earn a grade of “C” or better in all of the courses listed under
“Major Program Requirements,” “Required Cognate Concentration
or Minor,” and “Other Program Requirements.” A lesser grade in any
of these courses must be replaced before the Bachelor of Arts degree
with a major in mathematics will be granted. In addition, lesser grades
in any of these courses preclude taking subsequent courses for which
the deficient courses are prerequisite.
