Double-Majors in Mathematics

Double-Major: BA Mathematics

If you are majoring in a field such as biochemistry, chemistry, computer science, physics, or quantitative economics, all of which require the 12-hour calculus sequence, then you may want to consider earning a double-major in mathematics. Students who complete the 2171 – 2173 calculus sequence have satisfied nearly half of the hours required to receive a double-major in mathematics. In addition to the requirements for your primary major, here are the specific courses required for a double-major in mathematics.

Required Courses for a Double-Major in Mathematics:

MATH 2171: Calculus I – 4 hrs.
MATH 2172: Calculus II – 4 hrs
MATH 2173: Calculus III – 4 hrs.
MATH 2300: Transition to Advanced Mathematics – 3 hrs.
MATH 3256: Linear Algebra – 3 hrs.
