All students must complete the University Curriculum requirements.
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 a course in statistics, usually MA 285 or MA 371.
- Students interested in statistics should take MA 285, MA 371 and MA 372.
- Students interested in actuarial studies should take MA 371, MA 372 and MA 378. We also recommend CSC 110 and a Minor in Finance or Business.
