Bachelor's in Mathematics

Mathematics is a Bachelor program taught at Spelman College, USA. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

Spelman College’s Mathematics major provides 13 mathematics courses (at least 43 hours) and a set of required and elective modules. Students study Introductory Seminar in Mathematics, Calculus (I, II, and III), Linear Algebra and Applications, Foundations of Mathematics, Abstract Algebra (I and possibly II), Real Variables (I and possibly II), and a Senior Seminar. Elective options include Geometry, Biostatistics, Mathematical Models, Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, Complex Variables, Probability and Statistics, Topology, and others.

The major also includes special requirements: all mathematics majors must take and pass MATH 200 during their first year, and students must take and pass a major field exam in February of their senior year.

The Bachelor of Arts degree requires completion of the major cognate courses plus the 13 mathematics courses.

The Bachelor of Science degree requires the Bachelor of Arts requirements plus an additional two courses (8 credits) that are either two additional mathematics electives above the 200 level or an additional year in one science (biology, chemistry, physics, or computer science).

The minimum requirements for admission in Mathematics at Spelman College for all applicants (Domestic or International) are:

• program specific academic requirment set by Spelman College.
• English Language OR any other language requirments as set by Spelman College as pre-requiste for admission in Mathematics.

Note: Please check the university website in the link below.

All mathematics majors are required to take and pass MATH 200 (Introductory Seminar in Mathematics) during their first year. Students who declare mathematics as a major after their first year are required to take the course at the first available opportunity.

Students must make a grade of “C” or better to progress to a subsequent course. Both degrees require successful completion of all courses with no grade lower than a “C” in those courses counted toward the 43 (54) hours for graduation.
