Mathematics, B.S.


About the Mathematics Bachelor’s Program


The 120-hour B.S. degree permits a greater degree of specialization than that afforded by the B.A. degree.

Requirements


Twenty-seven semester hours of upper-level math courses are required. The mathematics requirements are similar to those for the B.A. degree, but additional advanced math courses are required. These course requirements may be broadly divided into four components:

Calculus:


Depth (take two 3-hour courses from):


Communication Literacy


The Communication Literacy requirement for the Mathematics (B.A. or B.S.) major is two of the following: , , and .

Note:


Total MATH hours must be at least 42, with at least half of the upper-division (3000- and 4000-level) courses taken at Texas Tech.

Minor


Candidates for the B.S. degree must choose their minor from a scientific or technical area, including but not limited to the following: actuarial science, accounting, anthropology, astrophysics, atmospheric science, biology, bioengineering, business, chemistry, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, economics, electrical engineering, engineering, environmental sciences, finance, general business, health professions (STEM only courses), kinesiology, geology, geophysics, industrial engineering, life sciences, mechanical engineering, microbiology, petroleum engineering, physics, sociology, social work, sport management, technical communication, wind energy, or zoology. A minor must include 18 semester hours, 6 of which must be advanced. Courses counted for the minor must be approved by the department supervising the minor.

Electives


These courses are taken in addition to the required courses, to a total of minimum 120 semester hours. The inventory of courses that can be used to fulfill various requirements is updated each year. Students should consult the department’s undergraduate advisor if they have any questions about a particular course and the general degree requirements.
