Mathematics, B.S.

The Bachelor of Science degree curriculum is designed to prepare students for positions in business, industry, or government, as well as for graduate work in mathematics. (See Undergraduate Studies: General Information, especially the General Education section for information on requirements beyond those in the major.)

The total number of units required for the Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics is 180 units, of which 101-108 units are in the major depending on the option selected. Consult with an advisor for the specific number of units required in all areas of the degree including GE and free electives.

The following lists the modifications to the General GE Requirements for math majors.
