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:
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, cognitive science, 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, technical writing, 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.
