THE B.A. IN MATHEMATICS AN 8-SEMESTER STUDY GRID
 
This is simply an example of what 8 semesters might look like for incoming First-Year students. If you declare your major later, or are a Transfer Student, or if you bring in AP credit for calculus, your grid will look considerably different. Distribution courses can be taken in a different order. Up to 6 Distribution credits may be taken during Study Abroad.
