Superior students majoring in mathematics may participate in a program leading to graduation with honors in mathematics.  A candidate must submit written application by March 1 of the junior year to the departmental honors committee.  Admission to the program will be based on a 3.25 cumulative average in mathematics courses taken in the first five semesters and sponsorship by a member of the departmental faculty.  During the senior year, the student will be enrolled in Mathematics 490 - Independent Research and Study.  Honors in mathematics is based on earning a 3.4 average in seven mathematics courses at the 300 and 400 levels (excluding Mathematics 490) and an acceptable senior thesis.  Further information on the program can be obtained from the department.
