With the adviser's approval, courses other than those offered by the sponsoring departments may be used to fulfill part of the elective requirement. These may be in fields such as biology, economics, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, and medicine, that might be relevant to a mathematical sciences major, depending on a student's interests.

  1. At least three quarters before graduation, majors must file with their advisers a plan for completing degree requirements.
  2. All courses used to fulfill major requirements must be taken for a letter grade with the exception of courses offered satisfactory/no credit only.
  3. A course used to fulfill the requirements of one section of the program may not be applied toward the fulfillment of the requirements of another section.
  4. The student must have a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better in all course work used to fulfill the major requirement.
