The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers a broad curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. Concentrations in Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Secondary Education, as well as a collaborative program with Virginia Tech in engineering, are available. Depending upon the particular course of study taken, the student will be prepared for a career in industry, government, or education.
- Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics
- Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
- Mathematics and Statistics Collaborative Program in Engineering with Virginia Tech
- Mathematics Minor
- Statistics Minor
To graduate with a major in Mathematics, a student must have a grade point average of 2.0 or higher in all required MATH, STAT, ITEC, and PHYS courses for the Applied Mathematics Concentration; MATH, STAT and ITEC courses for the Statistics Concentration; MATH and STAT courses for Secondary Education.
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics
The major is available with a choice of three concentrations: Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Secondary Education. The Bachelor of Arts degree requires completion of the B.A. language requirements described in the course catalog.
Requirements
Core Curriculum (43-45 credits).
Three hours of mathematics courses required for the major may be included as part of the 43-45 hour Core Curriculum requirement.
Required Courses (18 credits)
All majors in mathematics must take:
- MATH 151 - Calculus and Analytic Geometry I
- MATH 152 - Calculus and Analytic Geometry II
- MATH 251 - Calculus and Analytic Geometry III
- MATH 252 - Calculus and Analytic Geometry IV
- MATH 260 - Introductory Linear Algebra
- STAT 301 - Probability and Statistics I
Notes: A grade of at least a “C” is required in each course in the calculus sequence. Any departmental majors receiving credit for MATH 252 cannot subsequently receive credit for any 100-level mathematics course unless the course is required for their concentration.

- MATH 251 - Calculus and Analytic Geometry III
- MATH 260 - Introductory Linear Algebra
and at least two courses chosen from among
- MATH 252 - Calculus and Analytic Geometry IV
- MATH 300 - Mathematical Foundations
- MATH 321 - History of Mathematics
- MATH 346 - Differential Equations
- any 400-level mathematics course or any 300 or 400-level statistics course.
