The math and English courses you will take during your first year will depend on UW System placement exam scores or ACT/SAT subscores. This four-year plan reflects the math and English courses most common for students in this major. All students are encouraged to complete placement testing prior to attending Warhawks SOAR.

This program may also be completed as a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in the College of Letters and Sciences, but will require additional coursework. The BA degree emphasizes preparation in the arts, world languages, humanities and social sciences.

Students are encouraged to start thinking about selecting a minor in the second year. Common minors selected by math majors include: Business Data Analytics, Computer Science, Data Science, Finance, General Business, and Information Technology. While these minors are common among the statistics emphasis, you can choose from over 100 options that include Art, Japanese Studies, Sociology, and more.
First Year: Participating in a university-sponsored club, such as the Student Math Association, is strongly encouraged. Involvement in a club or activity will help you develop interpersonal and leadership skills and add to your resume.
Additionally, many math majors are ready to tutor after their first year and can be employed through the Student Success Center to tutor students in Quantitative Reasoning, College Algebra, or Calculus I. On-campus tutoring helps students develop technical communication skills.
Second Year: The Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is a high-impact practice that gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge outside of the classroom and dive deeper into their field of interest.
Career Information in Letters and Sciences (LSINDP 399) is a 1-credit course that focuses on transition to career and graduate school opportunities; identifying skills, strengths, and work values; creating effective job search materials; and developing a networking strategy.
Third Year: An internship provides students with hands-on experience in a potential career field, supervision and coaching from prospective employers, and the ability to learn professional norms and behaviors. In addition, completing an internship allows students to differentiate themselves in a competitive job market. Students should begin planning for an internship by the beginning of the junior year and can complete the internship in the junior or senior year. Students also have the option to enroll in MATH 493 to earn credit for their internship which may count as an upper-level technical elective.
Fourth Year: All students must earn at least 120 credits and complete undergraduate degree requirements to graduate.
Graduation: Students should apply for graduation one full semester prior to their intended graduation date.
