Connections Requirement (12 Hours)

An important goal of our program is to assure that all students gain exposure to how the mathematical sciences are used. To satisfy the Connections Requirement, you complete twelve hours of selected courses in an area that makes strong use of the mathematical sciences, such as education, economics, business, computer science, engineering technology, or physics.

For complete list of ways to satisfy the connections requirement, see the catalog.
