Mathematics Transfer Advising

Transfer Student and Changing to a Mathematics Major

A transfer student with a strong mathematics background can complete the mathematics major in two years provided they have completed a sufficient amount of foundational/prerequisite coursework. Ideally, a transfer student will have transfer equivalency for: 

• Calculus I (Differential Calculus)

• Calculus II (Integral Calculus)

• Discrete Mathematics (Introduction to Mathematical Proofs)

plus at least one of the following:

• Calculus III (Multivariate and Vector Calculus)

• Introduction to Computer Science

The following two-year plan for mathematics courses assumes that students have this background. Completion of the mathematics major in two years may not be possible for students with a less substantial background. If a student has transfer equivalency for all five of these courses, it is advised that they replace the proposed Math 228 or CS 150 option with an upper-division mathematics course in their first year instead of leaving the entirety of their entire upper-division elective requirements until their second year. Note that Mathematics capstone has a nine (9) upper-division credit prerequisite.
