Note:

• Total semester hours for degree program: 120-122 excluding Residency II.

• The program assumes that a student is ready to begin with Calculus I. A student who is not prepared to take Calculus I will need to take pre-calculus courses (MATH 1710  - MATH 1720 ) which may lengthen the required time to graduate. Most upper-level math courses are only offered in fall or spring; check the catalog and with your advisor for details.

• ** Courses marked with a double asterisk must be taken in the semester indicated.
