Other courses for consideration

The following MATH courses could be considered if a syllabus description is provided:

  • MATH 4990
  • MATH 4991
  • MATH 4992
  • MATH 4993
  • MATH 4995
  • MATH 4997W
  • MATH 5900
  • MATH 5990

Please note that MATH 4xxx-5xxx courses not listed above do not fulfill the math oriented elective requirement. Students who took multivariable calculus or sequence, sets, and foundations prior to Fall 2002 (Fall 2003 for transfer students) may use that course as the math oriented elective. We do not accept PHIL 5209 for this requirement or a track elective in the B.S.
