Notes:

  1. Students must take two of CSCE 110, CSCE 111, CSCE 206, and CSCE 121.
  2. Students must take at least two courses from the following: STAT 407, STAT 426, STAT 436, STAT 438, STAT 445, STAT 446, STAT 459, STAT 485, STAT 489, STAT 491, ISEN 350.  Students must take a total of at least 12 hours of mathematics and statistics elective courses.
  3. Students must take at least one course from the following courses: MATH 220, MATH 308, MATH 409, MATH 410, MATH 417 or MATH 437, MATH 442, MATH 446, MATH 447, MATH 469, ISEN 320, ISEN 340, ISEN 355. Students must take a total of at least 12 hours of mathematics and statistics elective courses.
  4. Students must take 12 hours in an outside specialization area upon approval by a departmental advisor. At least 6 hours must be upper level hours.
  5. Students must take 11 hours in Life and Physical Science (select two of ASTR 111; BIOL 111; BIOL 112; CHEM 101/111 or CHEM 103/113; CHEM 102/112 or CHEM 104/114; PHYS 208; PHYS 218) and one other class from the Life and Physical Science list of the University Core Curriculum.
  6. Students must take courses from the approved University Core Curriculum list as follows: 6 hours in Communication (must take ENGL 104 and one of COMM 203, COMM 205, or COMM 243); 3 hours in Language, Philosophy, and Culture; 3 hours in Creative Arts; 3 hours in Social and Behavioral Sciences; 6 hours in Government / Political Science (must take POLS 206 and POLS 207); and 6 hours in American History. In addition, 6 hours of courses must be in the area of International and Cultural Diversity.  These may be in addition to University Core Curriculum courses, or if a course in this category satisfies an area of the Core, it can be used to meet both requirements.

If a grade of D or F is earned in any of the following courses, MATH 151/MATH 171, MATH 152/MATH 172, MATH 221/MATH 251/MATH 253, MATH 220, MATH 304/MATH 323, STAT 211, or STAT 212, this course must be immediately retaken and a grade of C or better earned. The department will allow at most two D’s in upper-level (325-499) courses. If a third D is earned, one of the three courses in which a D was earned must be retaken and a grade of C or better earned.
