Mathematics Degree Requirements
The requirements of a major in mathematics vary according to the objectives of the student. The seven courses required of all mathematics majors are 111 (or 131), 112 (or 132), 210, 230, 310, 433 (or 533), and 461 (or 509 or 561). An additional four courses are required, selected from one of the following options:

Students preparing for graduate study in mathematics should complete all of 531, 532, 533, 534, 561, 562.

Students interested in actuarial science should choose the Probability and Statistics option; for these students a finance minor is recommended.

Transfer students will be permitted to apply up to 14 transfer credits towards the major; however, the University of Miami's courses 461 (or 509 or 561) and 433 (or 533) must be completed.

A minor in mathematics requires three of the following courses which must be taken in the Mathematics Department, University of Miami: 210, 310 (or 211), 224, 309, 311, 320; 500-level mathematics courses with departmental approval.

A grade of "C-" or better is required for each course applied towards the major or minor; the overall quality point average for the major or minor must be 2.5 or above.

Requirements for departmental honors in Mathematics: Three two-course sequences from 513-514, 515-516, 520-521, 524-525, 531-532, 533-534, 561-562; the student must attain at least a "B" in each course used to fulfill this requirement. In addition, the student must attain at least a 3.5 average overall for all courses counted toward the mathematics major and an overall (university-wide) average of at least 3.3.

For requirements leading to the Master of Arts, Master of Science, or Doctor of Philosophy degrees, with a major in mathematics, see the Bulletin of the Graduate School.
