  Degree Requirements- Bachelor of Science with a Major in Mathematics (120 credits)

  Mathematics Major Courses (44 credits)

  This program gives students a scientifically-oriented education in mathematics. In addition to the standard topics in mathematics and statistics, students select courses in advanced mathematics, computer science and/or other areas related to the department. Students must earn at least a "C"; grade in each MTH course counted towards the major and a C average for the 44 credit hours required for the major. The cooperative education program is highly recommended.

  • MTH 1410 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (4 credits)
  • MTH 1420 Analytic Geometry and Calculus II (4 credits)
  • MTH 1834 Mathematical Excursion (1 credit)
  • MTH 2410 Analytic Geometry and Calculus III* (4 credits)
  • MTH 2760 Discrete Structures (3 credits)
  • MTH 3020 Linear Algebra with Applications (3 credits)

  Students are encouraged to choose their elective courses in keeping with one of the focus areas of the department such as: Mathematical Modeling and Applications, Statistics and Actuarial Science, Logic and Foundations, Discrete Math and Graph Theory, Mathematics Education, and Pure Mathematics.
  

   

  Cognate (15 credits) or Minor (18+ credits): 

  Students must also select either a Detroit Mercy minor or a cognate (at least 15 credits beyond the major) from one of the following groups:

  Business (accounting, business, economics)

  Engineering (any engineering discipline, computer science, entrepreneurship, physics)

  Science (biology, chemistry, physics, science)

  Other courses may be approved by the department.

   

  University Core Curriculum

  In addition to the courses required for this program listed above, the student must also fulfill the requirements of the University Core Curriculum for this program.

  Some of these courses may be satisfied by courses in your program.  Please review your Degree Evaluation or consult your academic advisor for more information.

   

  General Electives

  General electives may need to be taken to round out the students’ education if credits are still needed to reach the minimum of 120 credits which are required for graduation.

  Cooperative Education

  Students are encouraged to participate in the University’s Cooperative Education Program. Students should register for the one-credit course ENGR 3000 the fall prior to when they would like to obtain their first co-op. Beginning with this class, students can obtain assistance in finding employment to gain experience (and pay) in a technology field. A maximum of six co-op credits may be counted toward graduation.

  Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Interest

  Students interested in medical or dental professional schools can earn any major as an undergraduate. Given the diagnostic/problem solving nature of these fields, Mathematics is a very attractive major for those with medical/dental career aspirations. A year of biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics with accompanying labs should be taken by students interested in applying for medical or dental school. A course in biochemistry and physiology is also highly recommended.  Students should contact our Pre-Health advisor if considering this route.

  Accelerated 6-Year Law Scholars Program

  Detroit Mercy’s innovative Accelerated 6-Year Law Scholars Program enables a student to earn both a bachelor's degree and a Juris Doctor degree in six years rather than the traditional seven in the Six-Year BS (Mathematics)-Juris Doctor program. You will spend the first three years earning credit toward your bachelor’s degree and the last three completing the Juris Doctor requirements. The credits earned after successfully completing the first-year law school curriculum will transfer back to the undergraduate program for awarding of the bachelor’s degree in the selected major you choose.
