Mathematics (Bachelor of Arts)
The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics gives a sound preparation in mathematics for students who desire a broad liberal arts education. A BA in mathematics will prepare a student for graduate study in mathematics, statistics, or related fields, as well as career paths suitable for all liberal arts degrees, such as law. A BA in mathematics will prepare a student to enter careers in statistics, data analysis, or the actuarial field. With suitable electives, a the degree will prepare a student for further study in management science, finance, or other areas. Students preparing for graduate study in mathematics are encouraged to take both sequences, MATH-M 403-404 and MATH-M 413-414.
General Education Component
All students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics must complete the campus General Education Core Requirements. See General Education Component for all IU Southeast Baccalaureate Degrees for a complete listing of requirements.
Students must also complete the campus BA Distribution requirements as stated in Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements.

Mathematics Elective
The student must take one additional mathematics course at the 300 or 400 level (excluding K 300).
Note: Courses selected to satisfy the Written Communication Requirement and the Math Sequence Requirement may not double count as the Mathematics Elective.
These requirements are a minimum; those students who are planning graduate study in mathematics are strongly encouraged to take both of the sequences M 403-M 404 and M 413-M 414. In addition, it is strongly recommended that the candidate take electives in areas related to mathematics. Depending on interests and goals, the candidate may choose these from other mathematics offerings; from computer science offerings such as C 251; from physics offerings such as P 221-P 222; from chemistry offerings such as C 105-C 106; or from various education courses leading to certification.
