Description: The
Interdisciplinary Concentration in the
Mathematical Science offers a great
deal of breadth and flexibility for the
design of quantitatively-based programs.
Students choose an area of emphasis in
Applied Mathematics, Computer Science,
Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Economics,
Psychology, or another area negotiated
with the advisor. The Interdisciplinary
Concentration in the Mathematical Sciences
may also be appropriate for a pre-medicine
student interested in a quantitative program
of study in the sciences.
Available Options: Concentration
in Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences
with an Emphasis
in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science,
Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Economics,
Psychology, or another area negotiated
with the advisor.

Electives: Electives must be upper division.
Twelve upper division hours should be in
the area of emphasis, six may be any upper
division courses in mathematics and the
sciences. These include include all Honors
College upper division courses offered
in Mathematics, Computer Science, Biology,
Physics, Chemistry, Economics, and Psychology.
Generally, students will complete additional
science and mathematics courses, but the
framework is minimal to allow a maximum
of flexibility in designing individual
programs. The student should work closely
with the advisor in creating an appropriate
program of study. Students are reminded
that they need 45 upper-level (3000 or
4000-level) credits to graduate.
Restrictions: In order to enter the Honors
College Interdisciplinary Mathematical
Sciences Concentration program, students
must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in Honors
College courses. In order to count towards
the Concentration requirements, upper division
Honors Mathematics and Sciences courses
must be completed with a grade of C+ or
better, and the cumulative GPA in upper
division Math and Science courses must
be at least 2.7.
