Mathematics Placement Each incoming student is given a mathematics placement. This is based on test scores (ACT or SAT) and prior mathematics courses. For transfer students who have transfer credit for mathematics, placement is generally based on those courses.
Students may not register for a course in a level higher than that in which they placed. Students wishing to do so must pass the corresponding challenge exam to be administered by the mathematics faculty during Orientation week. Students may take courses at a lower level if it is necessary (such as Math 207 for a student wanting or needing a statistics course, or Math 221/223 for a student aspiring to teach elementary school).

Mathematics Major The three templates below show typical schedules for majors with varying levels of initial preparation/performance. Math 240 is prerequisite to most upper division courses and therefore should be completed as early as the student is ready for the course. Freshmen entering with Math 227 credit should enroll in Math 240 in the fall of the freshman year, and then continue to take at least one mathematics course each term. CS 150 should also be completed as early as possible.

Four-year Guarantee and the Mathematics Major For a freshman to complete the mathematics major in four years under the four-year guarantee, in addition to the other requirements in the guarantee program and completing the requirements for the major, the student must: 1. Complete Math 227 and Math 240 with a C or better no later than the spring of the sophomore
year. 2. Complete the prerequisite for senior capstone by the end of the junior year. Specific mathematics and computer science courses are not offered each semester or even each year. The planning form on the following page can assist in planning when to take courses required in the mathematics major. Course offerings are subject to change on a yearly basis, and the planning form, readily available in Price Hall, will be updated accordingly.
Optional Specializations in the Mathematics Major These specializations are optional and not required to receive a major in mathematics. Courses can be used to satisfy both requirements for the mathematics major and an optional specialization. Students whose career goal is in financial mathematics or the actuarial field should complete the Actuarial Science specialization. Students who will be attending graduate school in mathematics should complete the Advanced Mathematics specialization. Students interested in a career in mathematical biology should complete the Biomathematics specialization. And, students who intend to become high school teachers should complete the Secondary Mathematics Education specialization. Students completing a specialization are well served by using some of the courses in the specialization to satisfy requirements for the core major.
