Mathematics

A major who maintains at least a 3.2 average (4.0 scale) in courses required for the major may apply for the departmental honors program. A student’s application in writing must be directed to a prospective honors advisor or the department chair by the end of the student’s junior year. Honors may be achieved in one of two ways:1. A unified four-course sequence as a senior (some parts of which may consist of reading courses), followed by a comprehensive examination.2. An honors project to be presented at an oral defense or at a department seminar.
