Mathematics

Description

Critical thinking and problem-solving are desirable qualities in any career. Math is the perfect area in which to develop these skills.

The concentration in mathematics is designed for students who want to further their knowledge of mathematics by developing more organized and logical thinking. It is beneficial for students in any field where there is a need for quantification in the analysis of information.

Requirements

• Students must complete a minimum of 18 credit hours which includes 12 upper division hours for this concentration.
• All courses must be completed with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher.
• Students must complete a minimum of 6 credit hours of MAT or STP upper division (300-400 level) offered by the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
• Students may not apply ACT 491, MAT 411 or 485 or a course not offered at ASU to the concentration, unless otherwise approved by a department advisor.
• Students may not pair a Mathematics concentration with a Statistics concentration.
