9 credits (3 courses) chosen from any remaining 3000/4000-level courses except MATH 3100 , MATH 4200 , MATH 4940 .

Additional Information:

Mathematics majors are encouraged to tailor the program to their career objectives by making judicious choice of the electives in requirement (c) above and by taking courses in the department beyond the required minimum 53 hours.

Students planning to do graduate work in mathematics should include as many of the following courses in their program as possible: MATH 3410 , MATH 4320 , MATH 4420 , and MATH 4220 . Graduate schools find students who exceed the 53-hour minimum more attractive.
