Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Major in Applied Mathematics
Minimum required: 120 semester credit hours
General Requirements
- The general education core curriculum courses are listed in the degree plan below along with the statewide component code number. See the General Education Core Curriculum section of this catalog for the Texas State requirements and options in the core curriculum, including Honors courses.
- Students must complete a minimum of 36 advanced hours (3000 or 4000 level courses).
- Students must select a minor from the approved list of Undergraduate Minors.
- Nine semester credit hours must be writing intensive (WI).
