NOTES:

  1. Math Electives:(21 hours) Take MATH 415 or 433, and 3 hours from MATH 412, 414, 442, 447, or 470. From 9-15 hours must be selected from MATH 325, 405-489. Up to 6 hours may be selected from STAT 407-416; CSCE 211-452, 461-481 (except CSCE 442); ISEN 420, 421. Students who get a minor in Computer Science may use up to 9 hours of 300/400 level CSCE courses towards their 15 hour Math elective requirement, which is an exception to the rule that allows at most 6 hours of STAT, CSCE or ISEN courses to count toward the 15 hour Math elective requirement.

  2. CSCE electives: (8 hours) Select 2 courses from CSCE 110, 111, 121, and 206.

  3. Science Electives: (8 hours) Select 2 courses from CHEM 101/111 (or 107) or CHEM 103/113; CHEM 102/112 or CHEM 104/114; BIOL 111; BIOL 112; or ASTR 111.

  4. Core Electives: (21 hours) Take ENGL 104 (3 hours), COMM 203, 205, or 243 (3 hours), ECON 202 or 203 (3 hours), a 200-400 level Language, Philosophy and Culture CORE course (3 hours), and 3 hours of a Creative Arts CORE course. For a list of the acceptable Language, Philosophy and Culture and Creative Arts courses, please see your catalog at Undergraduate Catalog Listings. In addition, 6 hours of International and Cultural Diversity are required. Some of these courses may be used to satisfy other degree requirements. Please see your catalog or the Mathematics Department's List of International and Cultural Diversity Requirements for a list of these courses.

  5. HIST/POLS: (12 hours) POLS 206 and 207 are required. For the HIST requirement, 6 hours of American History are required. Most students satisfy this requirement by taking HIST 105 and 106. For other options, see your catalog.

  6. Free electives: (5 hours) Almost every course offered at TAMU will count as a free elective. However, there are some exceptions. Please see an advisor or the Mathematics Department's List of Ineligible Free Electives for a list of unacceptable courses. Math 170 counts as free elective hours.
