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.
