BA in Mathematics Curriculum

Students majoring in mathematics must meet the following requirements for graduation. Note: a C- or better is required for all departmental prerequisites, unless otherwise stated. Students are required to maintain a GPA of 2.0 or better for all courses used to fulfill the Mathematics major.

While students must consult with their major adviser in planning a course of study, the department provides the following recommendations.

• Students interested in teaching must take MA 285 or MA 371.
• Students interested in statistics should consider:

  Course List

  Code	Title	Credits
  MA 371	Mathematical Statistics and Probability I	3
  MA 372	Mathematical Statistics and Probability II	3
  MA 378	Mathematical Modeling	3

• Students interested in Actuarial Studies should take MA 371, MA 372, and MA 378. CSC 110 is also recommended along with a Minor in Finance or Business.

College of Arts and Sciences Curriculum

The College of Arts and Sciences offers bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees. As the home of the liberal arts at Quinnipiac, CAS encourages students to pursue a balanced program of study across multiple disciplines. In pursuit of that goal, CAS imposes additional requirements beyond the University Curriculum.

All CAS students (both bachelor of science and bachelor of arts) must complete one foreign language through the 102-level. Foreign language classes may also count toward the UC Personal Inquiry II requirement.

Additionally, students earning a bachelor of arts must fulfill separate requirements for breadth and depth of study:

For the breadth requirement, students must complete at least 3 credits in each of the four CAS disciplinary areas other than the area of the student’s major. These areas are: fine arts, humanities, natural sciences and social sciences. For example, a student majoring in political science—a social science discipline—would complete at least 3 credits each in fine arts, humanities and natural science. A course taken to fulfill the CAS breadth requirement may not simultaneously fulfill any UC requirement.

For the depth requirement, students must complete at least 9 credits within a single subject area other than that of the major. (A “subject area” is identified with a catalog subject code, such as PL, CJ, WS, MA, etc.) CAS depth courses may also count toward UC requirements.

Students pursuing a bachelor of science, a double major, or certain accelerated degree programs are exempt from the CAS breadth and depth requirements, but must complete the foreign language requirement.
