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 in mathematical sciences courses of at least a 3.4.
- Complete at least 15 units in mathematical sciences in addition to the requirements for the major listed above. These courses should form a sustained effort in one area and constitute a program approved by the committee in charge of the Mathematical and Computational Science Program.
- Include in the above 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
Students interested in doing honors work should consult with their advisers by the last quarter of the junior year to prepare a program of study. Honors work may be concentrated in fields outside the Mathematical and Computational Science programs such as biological sciences, medicine, physics.
