Possess a strong foundation in traditional mathematical areas. Students will demonstrate an understanding of foundational mathematics in a three- semester calculus sequence coupled with the ability to apply calculus principles in differential equations, mathematical modeling, and/or probability and statistics X   X X    
Understand and write rigorous proofs for theorems, corollaries, and lemmas. Students will be skilled in a variety of proof methods and have strong axiomatic reasoning skills. Students will be able to apply these skills in the context of geometry, linear algebra, abstract algebra, real analysis, and/or complex variables X   X X    
Science and engineering majors: Possess the mathematical and statistical backgrounds required for their fields of study. Like the math majors, engineering and science students will demonstrate an understanding of foundational mathematics in a two or three-semester calculus sequence coupled with the ability to apply calculus principles in Differential equations or apply pre-calculus to algebra-based physics X   X X    

Business, accounting, psychology, and social work majors: Possess the mathematical and statistical backgrounds required for their fields of study. Business and accounting students will demonstrate an understanding of probabilistic and statistical principles as well as be able to apply these principles in operations research, applied quantitative reasoning, and finance
