Mathematics:

A course that fulfills the Mathematics requirement is designed to promote a solid foundation for the interpretation and understanding of the world through numbers or other measures, using deductive logic, with a synthetic or analytic approach. Courses that focus on the analysis of and drawing of inductive inferences from quantitative data can satisfy this requirement, provided they have a sufficiently prominent deductive component.

Students are expected to familiarize themselves with the Undergraduate Catalog and to satisfy all published degree requirements. Failure to do so does not provide a basis for exceptions to academic requirements or policies. It is expected that students will receive assistance from general academic and faculty advisers, but students must assume responsibility for completing published degree requirements.

Bachelor’s Degree Institutional Requirements:
