Major in Mathematics


Please note that the semesters indicated are listed to assist students in planning their schedules and indicate which semesters the courses are usually offered. This does not guarantee these courses will always be offered in the same semesters as they have in the past. Courses marked "irregular" are courses which are not offered on a regular basis.

PHY 2048C* General Physics A (5) (Fall, Spring, Summer)

*PHY 2048C serves two requirements. The first is as part of the State of Florida Common Program Prerequisite one laboratory based science course for four credit hours designed for science majors and secondly as or an approved calculus-based natural or social science course. An approved calculus-based social science course cannot count as a laboratory based science course for four credit hours designed for science majors.

*PHY 2049C is recommended.

Additional Coursework

In addition to the above required courses the student must complete 4 of the following courses (at least 2 of the 4 must be at the 4000 level). The courses used to satisfy the sequence requirement (see below) should shape your choice of the 4 courses. For example, a proof-based course such as MAD2104 or MGF3301 should be completed before taking MAS4302 or MAA4226.
