BS MATH Checklist Revised 11/24/2015
MATHEMATICS, B.S. REVISED 11/24/2015 jd/aar x6167 The BS Mathematics degree is intended to be a rigorous program where students would develop their analytical skills through a largely theoretical knowledge of mathematics. Typical students completing this program would potentially move on to an advanced mathematics graduate degree or related field, but there are ways to tailor this degree to fit your career interests through Major Electives and Guided Electives. This program is essentially the previous BS Mathematics degree at Southern Polytechnic University, with a few updates because of hours discrepancies, which was due to the consolidation of KSU & SPSU. This is a sample four-year plan of the Bachelors of Science in Mathematics degree; it is intended as a guide for how a student may complete this program in eight Fall/Spring terms. However, if MATH 1190 is not your first MATH, if you already have transfer credit, if you want to attend summers, and/or if you need to enroll in less than 15-16 hours, then you can use this as a way to see what may be next. Prerequisite courses, indicated in [ square brackets ], and all courses required for the MATH major require a grade of C or higher.

Students with at least a C in KSU's MATH 3390 prior to SP'14 would qualify for courses where MATH 2390 is a prereq, if they also have at least a C in MATH 2202 Calculus II as well.
notes regarding the BS Mathematics major [ effective for students on the Fall 2015 or newer catalog ] The KSU BS Mathematics degree is the essentially the same as the previous Southern Polytechnic State University BS Mathematics major but with a few tweaks (due to the merger and new courses and updates). This program offers the rigor needed to prepare for theoretical mathematics research and graduate programs. There is no longer an option for an education track with the BS Mathematics degree. Due to the consolidation of Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University, in most cases, there are a lot more choices in General Education requirements. From the perspective of the previous SPSU program: In Area B1, STS 2400 is renumbered to STS 2105 and there are more options of ANTH, CRJU, GEOG, PSYC, SOCI 2105. In Area B2, COMM 2400 is now COM 1100 Human Communication; the POLS 2401 Global Perspectives course is moved to this area, and AADS, AMST, ASIA, GWST, LALS, PAX, or RELS 1102; FL 1002 (FL denotes any Foreign Language), and PHIL 2200 are additional options. Area C1 has a new option, ENGL 2110. But ENGL 2141 and ENGL 2142 are no longer Gen Ed Literature choices. Area C2 has different names for the appreciation courses: ART, MUSI, TPS, or DANC 1107. The FL course is still a Gen Ed option, but it wouldn t apply in this area anymore. Area E1 & E3 requires two courses in the American Context portion: POLS 1101 American Government and one of HIST 2111/2112 U.S. History to/since 1877. In Area E2, HIST 1110 is also an option. In Area E4, Economics is required, but ECON 1100 and ECON 2100 are both options. WELL 1000 is a required health/nutrition/fitness course for College of Science and Mathematics majors. New KSU students take a freshman seminar or are a part of a learning community; SPSU 1001 will no longer exist. Area F Lower-Division Major Requirements are a little different from the viewpoint of the previous SPSU degree: See the back of the checklist for equivalencies from previous SPSU MATH courses to new KSU classes, along with the prereqs and name changes. Previous SPSU students no longer have to take both CSE 1301 and CSE 1302; they only need CS 1301 now (renamed). The SPSU MATH 2345 Discrete Mathematics course is not equivalent to the previous KSU MATH 3322 Discrete Mathematics I course. Students who update to the F 15 BS MATH program and already have the SPSU MATH 2345 credit will use this course as a Guided Elective. Major Requirements have a few new classes compared to the previous SPSU MATH major: The previous SPSU major had several lower and upper level courses that were four hours each that will only be 3 hours each in the consolidated university. This means that it feels like there will be additional courses, but in reality it is the same number of hours credit from the previous SPSU program to this one (except for that WELL 1000 requirement). MATH 4260 Linear Algebra II, one of MATH 3322 Graph Theory or MATH 3324 Enumerative Combinatorics, and MATH 4362 Abstract Algebra II are new classes that are required. Major Electives have some new options for the previous SPSU student: 12 hours of 3000/4000-level MATH Electives are required (not 9 hours). You can t take just any 3000/4000-level MATH classes though (quite a few 3000/4000-level MATH courses are only for Education majors). See the back of the checklist for approved MATH 3000/4000-level options for the BS Mathematics program. MATH 3261 Numerical Methods I, MATH 3272 Intro. to Linear Programming, MATH 3322 Graph Theory, MATH 3332 Probability & Inference, MATH 3396 Cooperative Study, MATH 3398 Internship, MATH 3405 Probabilistic Foundations of Actuarial Science, MATH 4400 Directed Study, and MATH 4699 Undergraduate Research are courses that are now new options available to previous SPSU students. Other updates and changes The Department of Mathematics and the two MATH majors are officially housed on the Marietta campus, while the MATH ED major will be chiefly on the Kennesaw campus. This means it is likely that some MATH classes will frequently only be available on the Marietta campus, so students should be careful about planning their coursework that may end up being on the Kennesaw campus. There will be a shuttle between the two campuses. Comments regarding KSU policies for Internships, Directed Study, and Undergraduate Research are included.
please note these changes for GEN ED [ starting Fall 2015, unless otherwise stated ] Due to the consolidation of Kennesaw State University and Southern Polytechnic State University, in most cases, there are a lot more choices in General Education requirements: Area B1 Contemporary Social Issues has an additional option of STS 2105 Perspectives in Science and Technology. The automatic substitution of the 3 hour introductory courses of PSYC 1101, SOCI 2201, ANTH 2201, GEOG 1101, and CRJU 1101 in Area B1 to count for one of the 2 hour Contemporary Social Issues 2105 courses are NO longer an option. However, if one of those 3 hour course was successfully completed Spring 2015 or earlier, it may be used if you were enrolled at KSU Spring 2015 or earlier. New students to KSU who start Summer 2015 or later should adhere to this new policy. Transfer students starting in Summer 2015 or later are not allowed to use the 3 hour course to meet Gen Ed requirements UNLESS they are transferring in from a USG institution that includes the 3 hour course in another area of Gen Ed. This means students starting at KSU in Summer 2015 or later need to take one two hour course from the following options in Area B1: ANTH 2105, CRJU 2105, GEOG 2105, PSYC 2105, SOCI 2105, or STS 2105. Area B2 Cultural Perspectives has renumbered COM 1109 to be COM 1100 Human Communication; there is also an additional option of POLS 2401 Global Issues. The automatic substitution of the 3 hour COM 2129 Public Speaking course in Area B2 to count for the 3 hour COM 1109 Human Communication are no longer an option. However, if you successfully complete it Spring 2015 or earlier, it may be used if you were enrolled at KSU Spring 2015 or earlier. New students to KSU who start Summer 2015 and Fall 2015 should adhere to this new policy. Area C1 Literature of the World has nine new Literature options: ENGL 2110 World Literature, ENGL 2111 Early World Literature, ENGL 2112 World Literature mid 1600s to Present, ENGL 2120 British Literature, ENGL 2121 Early British Literature, ENGL 2122 British Literature late 1700s to Present, ENGL 2130 American Literature, ENGL 2131 Early American Literature, ENGL 2132 American Literature mid 1800s to Present, or ENGL 2300 African- American Literature Area D Science, Math, and Technology now officially has BIOL 1107/L & BIOL 1108/L Biological Principles I & II as acceptable Gen Ed Science courses. Students who start at KSU in Fall 2015 or later and who are Mathematics, Computational & Applied Mathematics, or Mathematics Education majors, which are considered STEM programs, can no longer use CHEM 1151/1152/L Survey of Chemistry I & II, GEOG 1112/1113 Weather & Climate/Intro to Landforms, or SCI 1101/1102 Science, Society, and the Environment I & II as options for satisfying the Gen Ed Science requirement. This means that STEM majors who start at KSU in Fall 2015 or later have to choose from BIOL 1107/L & BIOL 1108/L Biological Principles I & II, CHEM 1211/L & CHEM 1212/L General Chemistry I & II, PHYS 1111/L & PHYS 1112/L Introductory Physics I & II (trig-based), or PHYS 2211/L & PHYS 2212/L Principles of Physics I & II (calc-based). Area E2 World History has renumbered HIST 1110 to be HIST 1100 Introduction to World History; there are also two new options of HIST 1111 Pre-Modern World History or HIST 1112 Modern World History. Area E3 U.S. History now officially has HIST 2111 United States History to 1877 and HIST 2112 United States History Since 1877 as options. Area E4 Economics now officially has ECON 1100 Global Economics and ECON 2100 Principles of Microeconomics as options. If students are at all interested in pursuing a minor or dual-degree for any of the programs within the Coles College of Business, they should take ECON 2100, as it will be a prereq for some courses in those programs. The Institutional requirement of HPS 1000 course is renamed as WELL 1000 Foundations for Healthy Living. However, students with majors in the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology, the College of Architecture and Construction Management, or the College of Computing and Software Engineering (see attached) will NOT have an HPS/WELL 1000 graduation requirement. Mathematics, Computational & Applied Mathematics, or Mathematics Education majors will have to take HPS/WELL 1000.
