Mathematics - 3 Year Plan
Students are eligible for this plan if they have a 4 or 5 on the AP Test for BC Calculus or if they earned APSU credit for MATH 1910 and 1920 in a dual enrollment program while in high school. This plan also assumes that the student has AP or dual enrollment credit for two general education core classes, specifically ENGL 1010 and 1020 for the plan below, but it may easily be adjusted if the credit is earned for a different gen ed requirement.

1 Students taking MATH 1730 before 1910 can take 1730 in First Year Fall, 1910 in First Year Spring, and 1920 in the Summer Semester.
2 Suggested minors: Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering Technology, Decision Sciences, Accounting, Economics, and Finance.
3 These courses are not specifially required as Major Guided Electives, but are recommended.
4 MATH 4500 and MATH 4710 must be taken as Major Guided Electives for the Pure Mathematics track. MATH 4460, MATH 4670, and STAT 4250 must instead be taken for the Applied Mathematics track.
