1 Two classes at the 120- or higher level must be taken. It is recommended, not required, that the courses be part of a sequence. The recommended sequences include MTH 120-122, MTH 122-123 or MTH 145-146. Students with strong backgrounds in math, or who plan to apply to graduate school, are encouraged to take MTH 145-146 (Calculus I and II).
2. Any two statistics courses in a sequence may be taken. These include MTH 111-112, STAT 201-202 or MTH 311-312. MTH 311-312 is highly recommended for students interested in combining economics and mathematics.
3. Two additional quantitative courses selected from a list of approved courses must be taken to complete the requirements. Examples include courses in mathematics, accounting, finance, management information systems and applied management analysis at the 200- or higher level. Other classes will require approval from the department chair.
