The Bachelor of Science in Pure and Applied Mathematics offers a broad background appropriate for students planning to pursue a job in industry, while also offering students the depth and rigor required for graduate studies in mathematics or related fields. The curriculum satisfies the core bachelor of science curriculum that includes certain breadth requirements in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, the humanities and social sciences. In addition to this science core, the student completes twelve upper-level mathematics courses (called technical electives). Most of these technical courses are prescribed by the program but in some cases other courses can be substituted with the approval of the undergraduate advisor. The program includes two general electives which can be applied toward a minor in another discipline.
