The Major

Advising

First Majors Students are assigned an official faculty advisor by the Director of Undergraduate Studies. This occurs after you prepare a long-range plan and declare your first major in mathematics through the Pre-major Advising Center.  A student who has declared a second major or a minor in mathematics will receive formal advising in the department of their first major.  Check here for more information on Advising.

Graduation with Distinction
