Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics: Concentration in Mathematics for Liberal Arts Roadmap – Quantitative Reasoning Category I/II

120 Total Units Required
Minimum Number of Units in the Major: 43

This roadmap is a suggested plan of study and does not replace meeting with an advisor. Please note that students may need to adjust the actual sequence of courses based on course availability. Please consult your Degree Planner and an advisor for further guidance.

To avoid taking additional units, it is recommended that you meet the SF State Studies (AERM, GP, ES, SJ) requirements within your GE or major.

1

Students should use their Pathway/Category to determine the appropriate GE 2 course option. For directions on how to view your Pathway/Category, visit how to find your pathway. Questions? Contact Gator Smart Start.

2

First-time freshmen must take one lower-division Area 4 course that meets US History (USH).

3

Complementary Studies
Students in the B.A. Math program will satisfy the Complementary Studies requirement by taking 12 units of courses in the College of Science and Engineering outside of Math.

4

Students should use their Pathway/Category to determine the appropriate GE 1A course option. For directions on how to view your Pathway/Category, visit how to find your pathway. Questions? Contact Gator Smart Start.

5

Consider taking a class combined with a laboratory or a separate lab to fulfill 5C if not already satisfied.

6

CSC 101 and CSC 215 must both be taken to fulfill this requirement. CSC 101 and CSC 215 are only recommended if students are double-majoring or minoring in Computer Science. All other students should take either MATH 209 or CSC 309.

7

Concentration Electives (15 units)
Five MATH courses numbered 300 or above except MATH 375, MATH 475, and MATH 565.
