II. Required Cognate Concentration, Minor, or Second Major
The course of study for a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in mathematics requires selection of a cognate concentration, a minor, or a second major, approved by the student’s faculty advisor and the chair of the mathematics department. Approved selections include Biology, Business and Economics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Environmental Science, Physics, Operations Research, and Geographical Information Systems. In consultation with faculty advisors and the mathematics department chair, a student can develop a proposal for a cognate concentration, minor, or a second major other than those listed. Requirements for approved concentrations, minors, and second majors are as follows:
A. Concentration in Biology

To earn a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in mathematics, a student must pass the mathematics senior exit exam and earn a grade of “C-” or better in all of the courses listed under “Major Program Requirements,” “Required Cognate Concentration or Minor,” and “Other Program Requirements.” A lesser grade in any of these courses must be replaced before the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in mathematics will be granted. In addition, lesser grades in any of these courses preclude taking subsequent courses for which the deficient courses are prerequisite.
