2023-2024 Undergraduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Mathematics, B.A.
|
|
The B.A. degree is designed for students who seek mathematical training as a part of a broad liberal arts program, with the aim of pursuing careers in other fields such as engineering, business, medicine, teaching, and government. It is particularly attractive when combined with another field as a second major, and to this end, the department allows up to two courses from an outside department with significant mathematical content to count toward the B.A. in mathematics.
SMU Degree Requirements
An SMU undergraduate degree requires a minimum of 120 credit hours and must include completion of the , one major and a combination of electives and/or other majors or minors. Completion of certain majors requires more than 120 hours to finish the degree. The credit hours within this curriculum are distributed as follows:
|
Requirements for the Major
Mathematics Foundation (15 Credit Hours)
Computer Science (3 Credit Hours)
One course from the following:
Statistics (3 Credit Hours)
One course from the following:
Advanced Electives Courses (18 Credit Hours)
Six additional advanced electives at the 3000 level and above, of which:
- At least four must be MATH courses
- At least four must be at the 4000 level and above
Reflecting the highly interdisciplinary nature of modern applied and computational mathematics, the mathematics department allows considerable flexibility in the fulfillment of the “Advanced Electives” requirement of the B.A. degree, with the aim of facilitating the completion of a second major in a related field. Specifically, students may choose their electives from the following lists:
Note that if two courses are chosen from an external department, then both courses must come from the same department. Consult with the mathematics departmental adviser for additional guidance.
