All CAS students must complete one modern language through the 102 level. Students who have taken a language in high school should take the modern language placement test for that language. Placement scores at the 201 level or higher demonstrate language competency and will place out of the language requirement..

MA electives must be taken at the 285 number or higher. MA 299 and MA 399 do not count as MA electives.

While students must consult with their major adviser in planning a course of study, the department provides the following recommendations.

• Students interested in teaching must take a course in statistics, usually MA 285 or MA 371.
• Students interested in statistics should take MA 285, MA 371 and MA 372.
• Students interested in actuarial studies should take MA 371, MA 372 and MA 378. We also recommend CSC 110 and a Minor in Finance or Business.
