Mathematics, BS

Program Coordinator: Guglielmo Fucci (252-328-1885; fuccig@ecu.edu)

The degree offers four concentration areas: mathematics, statistics, computer science, and science. Students interested in research and/or independent study should consider the Mathematics Honors Program . Students interested in graduate studies in mathematics should consider the mathematics accelerated program .

The degree requires a minimum of 120 s.h. as follows:

1. General education requirements - 40 s.h.

(For information about courses that carry general education credit view the General Education Program section.)

2. Common mathematics core - 33 s.h.

Credit toward the degree will not be given in any course in the common mathematics core with a grade less than C- (1. 7).

Note:

Students who have taken CSCI 3584 or MATH 3584 may substitute that course for MATH 3256 .

3. Concentrations - 28-42 s.h.
