Requirements of Math Option in Math Major

Notices:

• The university requires all undergraduate students to complete 40 units in upper division courses. Completing the math major and upper division GE is not enough. It is the student's responsibility, not the math department's responsibility, to make sure this requirement is met.
• Students who choose the Math Option will not be able to graduate until spring 2006 because MAT 421 Complex Analysis will not be offered until spring 2006. If you plan to graduate before spring 2006 then you should stay with the Professional or General options listed in the 2003-2004 University Catalog, or follow the Math Education Option.
