The Mathematics major consists of prescriptive common courses, prescriptive concentration courses, and elective courses. The General concentration emphasizes coursework designed to give the student sound fundamental skills and to integrate these fundamental skills into a broad knowledge of the content and methods of mathematics as a liberal art (39 hours).
