Students who enter the College with fewer than six credits are required to complete the non-credit College Life Unit Experience Program (CLUE) or complete a one-credit orientation course (SPD 101: Issues in College Life, or SKO 100: SEEK Freshman Orientation.) Students are expected to complete this requirement during their first semester or prior to the completion of 12 equated credits.
To satisfy this requirement students must:
Choose one of the following:
Successfully complete a one-credit freshman orientation course: SPD 101: Issues in College Life or SKO 100: SEEK Freshman Orientation (open only to SEEK students)
OR
Complete the five components of the non-credit College Life Unit Experiences (CLUE) program, which include: attendance at a general orientation session on such topics as the purposes of higher education, an overview of College policies and services, and an appreciation of diversity. Students should attend the orientation session prior to the beginning of classes.
ANDAttend four CLUE-certified events: two Personal Growth Experiences and two Co-curricular Experiences. Personal Growth topics include study skills, career development, self-development, substance abuse, and pluralism. Co-curricular Experiences include events offered in conjunction with the scholarly, cultural, and civic programs presented regularly at the College.
STEM courses identified as having both the Life and Physical Sciences (LP) and Scientific World (SW) requirement designation may satisfy either/or Common Core area. No single course may be used to fulfill both areas.
Any 300-level or above course in foreign literature or equivalent courses in other languages will satisfy this requirement. Some courses require reading knowledge of the language; others allow students without knowledge of the language to read the works in English translation.
3 credits is the minimum requirement. Students may opt to take course bearing 4 credits and either 3 or 4 hours to fulfill these requirements; additional credits will be applied towards electives.
A minimum GPA of 2.0 in the major is required for graduation.

Three additional MTH courses at or above the 300 level chosen with the approval of an advisor.
Whenever possible all Mathematics majors are strongly advised to include in their curriculum a Computer Science course (course or course) and course (one of them as an elective).
Minimum Grade Requirement
A grade of C is required in course or course in order to register for course, and a grade of C or better in course is required in order to register for course. Students will be allowed to repeat courses, if necessary.
Chemistry Advisory
One-year of high school chemistry is required prior to entry into course and course. If you have not completed one-year of high school chemistry you will be required to complete course and course prior to registering for course and course.

To graduate with honors in Mathematics a student must have at least a 3.5 grade point average in Mathematics courses and must complete an honors thesis or project. The student must work closely with a Mathematics faculty member to define the project, carry out the research and investigation, and write the final report or prepare the final project. The student may receive credit through Independent Study for work on an honors project. The project must be accepted by the Honors Committee of the Department of Mathematics.
Pure Mathematics Emphasis
Students who wish to focus on theoretical aspects of mathematics are advised to include courses from Differential Equations, Real and Complex Analysis (course, course, course), Number Theory and Algebra (course, course), Geometry and Topology (course, course), or Logic and Foundations (course, course).
Applied Mathematics Emphasis
Students who wish to explore mathematical topics that have applications to other fields, including sciences, engineering, medicine, economics, or business, are advised to include courses that emphasize Mathematical Modeling such as Combinatorics/Graph Theory, Actuarial Mathematics, Operations Research and Mathematical Biology (course, course, course, course), Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems (course, course), Numerical Analysis (course), Mathematical Statistics (course, course), or Mathematics of Finance (course).
