Five additional mathematics courses chosen from courses number 200 or above with only one at the 200-level and to include:
MTH 326 - Abstract Algebra Course unit(s): 1 OR
MTH 337 - Real Analysis Course unit(s): 1
Any 100-level Computer Science course
CUE in Mathematics (described below)

Note:

A major must maintain a 2.00 grade point average in the courses required for the major. A student cannot simultaneously be declared as both a mathematics major and an analytics minor. However, a mathematics major can declare a concentration in analytics. Please see details in the section Mathematics Major with a Concentration in Analytics below.

Mathematics Major with a Concentration in Analytics

While a mathematics major cannot declare a minor in analytics, such a student can declare a concentration in analytics. To complete a mathematics major with a concentration in analytics, a student must complete both the requirements of the mathematics major and the requirements of the analytics minor.

Mathematics Major with a Concentration in Statistics

While a mathematics major cannot declare a minor in statistics, such a student can declare a concentration in statistics. To complete a mathematics major with a concentration in statistics, a student must complete both the requirements of the mathematics major and the requirements of the statistics minor.

Mathematics Culminating Undergraduate Experience (CUE)

The CUE in mathematics provides each student with the opportunity to engage in an intellectually rigorous experience that draws upon knowledge acquired within the major, while allowing students flexibility to select the type of experience they pursue. Each student who majors in mathematics will select one of the following options:

Successfully complete one of the following two courses during the senior year: MTH 975 CUE: Directed Research , or a course designated as the CUE (each year, the Department offers advanced electives which count as the CUE).
Successfully complete MTH 353 - CUE: Landmarks of Mathematics during any semester and successfully complete a certification in middle or secondary education, including completing a student teaching semester in mathematics in the senior year.

A student who takes a course designated as the CUE previous to these last two semesters will not be able to count such a course as fulfilling the option (a) CUE requirement for the major.
