Students must complete a two-semester sequence of upper level Math courses where the second course builds directly on the first. These courses are also either a core requirement or one of the upper level math electives.

At least 40 credits for the degree must be at the 300 or 400 level.

Students who take courses part-time or who take summer coursework will affect their completion time.

MSUM may change the requirements and timing of semesters they offer courses. Consult with your MSUM advisor.
