HONORS PROGRAM
The honors program is designed to encourage a more intensive study of mathematical sciences than the B.S. program. In addition to meeting all requirements for the B.S., the student must:
- Maintain an average letter grade equivalent to at least a 3.5 in all academic work.
- Prepare a statement describing major area of concentration for honors work.
- Complete at least 15 units in mathematical sciences in addition to the requirements for the major listed above. Include in these 15 units at least one of the following:
- An approved higher-level graduate course
- Participation in a small group seminar
- At least 3 units of directed reading
- Describe how each course selected added to the student's knowledge and understanding in area chosen for concentration.
- Students interested in honors should consult with their adviser by last quarter of their junior year to prepare their program of study. Honors work may be concentrated in fields such as biological sciences, environment, physics, etc.
