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:
Depth:
(take two of the four)
Breadth:
(take a minimum of 9 hours not used in the above)
Note:
Total MATH hours must be at least 39, 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 the following: actuarial science, atmospheric science, biology, bioengineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, economics, electrical engineering, engineering, kinesiology, geology, geophysics, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, microbiology, nuclear engineering, petroleum engineering, physics, sport management, 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
Additional courses must be taken which, together with the required courses, are sufficient to total 120 semester hours. The inventory of courses that can be used to fulfill various requirements changes every year as some courses are deleted and others added. Students should consult the department’s Director of Undergraduate Programs if they have any questions about a particular course and the general degree requirements. For the minor in actuarial sciences , refer to www.math.ttu.edu/Undergraduate/Minors/actuary.shtml.
Foreign Language
A student must complete 6 hours at the sophomore level or above in a single language. The prerequisite for all sophomore language courses is credit for the fresh man level. This credit can be determined through a credit by examination. The score attained on the exam will determine whether the student is placed in a second-year course, a 5-hour review course, or in some cases the first or second semester of a beginning (first-year) language course. See Arts and Sciences General Degree Requirements for further explanation.
