List program changes for
curriculum revisions:
There
is no major change in the program.
Students in this program may choose the current set of established
courses. They may choose the two new courses in probability
and statistics Math 350 and Math 450 instead of Math 201 and 202 to enhance
their data analysis background.
List new courses required for
the new or revised curriculum:
(Be aware that approval
of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through
the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)
None
Other affected units:
(List other departments affected by this new or revised
curriculum. Attach permission from the
affected units. If no other unit is
affected, enter “None”)
Rationale:
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
The current Math 300-Probability and Statistics (4 credits )
has been separated into two separate courses Math 350-Probability Theory and
Math 450-Mathematical Statistics (3 credits each). These two new courses will strengthen the
data analysis skills of those students who intend to attend graduate school or
pursue a career in actuary.
In addition, a new 1-credit seminar Math 268 at the sophomore
level is designed to introduce students to faculty and government research
interest, and to enhance their research skill.
Program Requirements:
(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the
Course Catalog. If this is a revision,
be sure to indicate the changes being made to the present curriculum.)
