Advisement
All Mathematics majors should see the Mathematics Department to be assigned an advisor. They should meet with their advisors at least once a year to help plan their programs and check on their progress. Call 801-626-6095 for more information or go to mathadvising.youcanbook.me to schedule an appointment. (Also refer to the Department Advisor Referral List.)
Use Grad MAPs to plan your degree.
Admission Requirements
Declare your program of study (see Program of Study (Major/Minor) Declaration) with your major department. There are no special admission or application requirements for the Regular Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, or Computational Statistics and Data Science majors. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (See Teacher Education Department).
General Education
Refer to Degree Requirements for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. COMM 1020 (HU), COMM 2110 (HU), ECON 2010 (SS), ECON 2020 (SS), and PHYS 2210 (PS) will fulfill requirements for both the major and general education.
