Earn your BS in Mathematics
The UI Department of Mathematics offers several BS degree options for students. You can complete one of three programs:
Program A, a program for general mathematics
Program A is primarily for students who plan to work in business or government or to pursue graduate study in mathematics.
Program B, a program for math education
Program B is intended for students seeking secondary school teaching licensure. Students who wish to earn teaching licensure in addition to earning a Bachelor of Science with a major in mathematics must also complete the Teacher Education Program (TEP); see the section titled "Teacher Licensure."
Program C, a program with math-related specializations
The Department of Mathematics encourages students of other majors to take more mathematics courses and attempt a BA or BS secondary major, or a secondary degree if their first major is outside CLAS, in mathematics. The program in math with a related specialization offers a curricular path to achieve this goal. Students complete core courses, mathematics electives, and subtrack requirements.
A BS in Mathematics typically requires 13 courses. Each program in the major has a core of several required courses, followed by choices for electives. Majors who are in the Honors Program may graduate with honors in mathematics if they satisfy additional requirements.
The Department of Mathematics is in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and therefore, students majoring in mathematics must also satisfy the college's graduation requirements.
