B.S. in Mathematics: Option in Applied Mathematics - Application in Economics and Finance, 2024-2025 Catalog

Four Year Degree Worksheet for:

This degree worksheet is intended to help you develop a balanced course schedule while completing your degree within 4 years. The same sequence of courses (with fewer courses each semester) is also recommended for students completing their degree in 5 or 6 years. The listed schedule of courses is a sample path to the degree and one of several possible ways of completing the degree requirements.

This worksheet is not intended to replace academic advising with your assigned advisor. Students should consult with their assigned advisor to determine the appropriate sequence of required courses and electives based on their academic goals.
