Departmental Honors are awarded to students who complete usually a minimum of 12 approved mathematics courses beyond Calculus (ten of which are already prescribed by the requirements for the regular mathematics major), and who include among these 12 courses:
- Completion of MT695 Honors Seminar (normally offered in Spring semester), or substitution of an approved MT499 Readings and Research course;
- Completion of two graduate-level classes (numbered MT800 or above).
A grade point average of at least 3.0 in MT courses numbered 300 or above is also required.
Exact program requirements may vary slightly among students, depending upon your specific choice of program and your starting point in the mathematics major, and must be approved by the Undergraduate Vice Chair.
Students interested in Departmental Honors must plan carefully, beginning even prior to the start of junior year, to be sure that all requirements can be met in a reasonable fashion.
