Liberal Arts Core and University requirements, and some of the following courses may also fulfill those requirements.
- IT 130 Java Programming
- MA 181 Calculus I § #
- MA 182 Calculus II #
- MA 209 Mathematics Seminar *
- MA 215 Linear Algebra
- MA 221 Multivariable Calculus
- MA 257 Introduction to Number Theory and Proof Techniques
- MA 260 Discrete Mathematics for Information Technology
- MA 261 Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning
- MA 309 Mathematics Seminar *
- MA 318 Probability and Statistical Inference
- MA 325 Differential Equations
- MA 400 Internship or MA 433 Research
- MA 409 Mathematics Seminar *
- MA 418 Stochastic Modeling
- MA 420 Abstract Algebra
- MA 425 Introduction to Real Analysis
- MA 430 Numerical Analysis
- PHYS 171 Physics I and PHYS 172 Physics II or BIO 151 General Biology I and BIO 262 Genetics
§ Students needing preparation for MA 181 Calculus I should plan to complete MA 171 Calculus I with Precalculus A and MA 172 Calculus I with Precalculus B instead of MA 181 during the freshman year.
# MA 181 and MA 182 can be waived with appropriate AP credit. Students should take noted courses in a sequence specified by an advisor and, upon successful completion, may not subsequently register for a lower-numbered course in the Calculus sequence.
* Transfer students or new majors will not be required to make up Mathematics Seminar classes that met during semesters in which they were not enrolled as a Mathematics major at Marymount; however, they are required to make up the credit hours to meet the 120-credit minimum requirement toward graduation.
