Math Major: Traditional Track

Notes:

  • Students majoring in math who plan to graduate with Honors in the Arts and Sciences MUST take at least the 161.01H or 190H sequence and one other honors math sequence.
  • Students will be required to obtain written approval for some tracks prior to their junior year for their planned program of study from a faculty advisor, assigned by the Mathematics Counselors.
