Major Requirements

Major and minor requirements in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics vary from time to time. Exact requirements in effect at any given time may be found in the USU online General Catalog. All grades for MATH and STAT courses applied toward a departmental major or minor must be C- or better. Major and minor requirements in effect at the beginning of Fall Semester 2010 are given below.

College of Science Requirements

Every bachelor’s degree candidate in the College of Science must complete the following coursework or its equivalent:

1. One year of calculus:

MATH 1210 - Calculus I (QL) 4 and
MATH 1220 - Calculus II (QL) 4

Note:

In some degrees or emphases within degrees, the second semester of calculus may be replaced by STAT 3000 . The substitution will be for specific degree programs, not by student choice.

2. One of the following year-long sequences. The chosen sequence must be outside the student’s major department.

BIOL 1610 - Biology I 4 and
BIOL 1620 - Biology II (BLS) 4
Or
CHEM 1210 - Principles of Chemistry I 4 and
CHEM 1220 - Principles of Chemistry II (BPS) 4
Or
GEO 1110 - The Dynamic Earth: Physical Geology (BPS) 4 and
GEO 3200 - The Earth Through Time (DSC) 4
Or
PHYS 2110 - General Physics - Life Sciences I 4 and
PHYS 2120 - General Physics - Life Sciences II (BPS) 4
Or
PHYS 2210 - General Physics–Science and Engineering I (QI) 4 and
PHYS 2220 - General Physics–Science and Engineering II (BPS/QI) 4
