Undergraduate Program
Sample Semester by Semester Program

Specific Degree Requirements   Below are given, by year, the courses you must take in order to obtain the B.S. degree in mathematics. In the case of the nonteaching degree, students must spend a portion of their elective hours to earn a minor or to earn a second major.   In order to graduate, you must have a GPA of at least 2.0 (out of 4.0) overall, in your minor, and in all mathematics  courses taken at Southern Miss.  Grades received in courses taken at other institutions are not included when calculating your GPA in these three areas.  In addition, you must complete at least 45 semester hours of upper division (i.e., 300-400 level) courses and one advanced mathematics sequence.  Only mathematics and computer science courses in which you earn grades of "C" or better will count toward meeting the program requirements of the major.  Each student must file an Application for Degree. You must request an Application for Degree two weeks ahead of the deadline printed in the Undergraduate Bulletin (shortly after midterm of the semester previous to your anticipated graduation).  To do this, you must fill out a request form in Undergraduate Academic Services and Preprofessional Programs of the College of Science and Technology (TEC 105).  Prior to this, you should have arranged to have all necessary course substitutions done. Undergraduate Academic Services will generate an official Application for Degree and provide you with further instructions.
