About the Program

The University of Wyoming's bachelor of arts or bachelor of science in mathematics/science is tailored to students wishing to develop an individualized course of study.  An interdisciplinary approach, the mathematics/science degree allows you flexibility in selecting courses from a variety of areas. Upon graduation, you will possess a broad knowledge of mathematics/science.

Courses in a variety of different departments count toward the degree.  Major areas of concentration in the program include: 

• Anthropology
• Biology
• Botany
• Chemistry
• Computer Science
• Geography and Recreation
• Geology
• Mathematics
• Physics and Astronomy
• Psychology
• Statistics
• Zoology and Physiology

Program Requirements

The mathematics/science degree currently requires 121 credit hours. Three sets of requirements must be met to complete the mathematics/science degree:

• University Studies
• College of Arts & Sciences extended core
• Mathematics/Science major requirements

The UW/CC program covers the junior and senior-level classes needed to complete a mathematics/science bachelor's degree.

The 48 hours required for this major must be earned in at least four departments (these four are referred to as the four core departments).  A minimum of eight credit hours is required in each of the four core departments.  One of the four core departments may be outside the college in related mathematics/science areas.

In addition, at least 24 hours of upper-division (3000-4000) coursework in the major must be earned in at least three of the core departments (minimum of three hours in each of the three departments).  These hours count toward the 48 hours of upper-division credits required by the university.
