Interdisciplinary Majors in Mathematics or Statistics

Interdisciplinary majors may be arranged between Mathematics or Statistics and another discipline.  The Mathematics/Statistics component of the interdisciplinary major is described below.  Students planning an interdisciplinary major must contact each department to determine the department's requirements for the interdisciplinary major.

Mathematics and Statistics Courses required:

a) MA 251, MA 252, and MA 351: Calculus I-III
b) Either ST210: Introduction to Statistics or ST 265: Biostatistics                
c) MA 301: Linear Algebra
d) A one-credit computer course for the Statistics track: ST 365: SAS Laboratory
e) Depending on the track selected, either MA 395: Discrete Methods or MA 304: Ordinary Differential Equations
f) Depending on track selected, four 400 level Mathematics or Statistics courses (see below)
