The program also may include such other mathematics courses at the 200 level or higher as the student, with departmental approval, may elect; and the foreign language requirement must be completed as for any other major. Students wishing to undertake a joint major in mathematics should obtain the advice of the mathematics coordinator as early as possible after deciding to pursue the major. A faculty member from the department will be assigned to cooperate with the student's other major advisor in the construction and execution of an appropriate study plan.
