Getting started in Mathematics Theory and Computation B.S.: Fall 2024 Entering Frosh
🔙
Students are admitted to UCSC with a "proposed major" in most cases, and later petition to officially declare the major. Admission to UCSC does not guarantee acceptance into a particular major. Students must be declared in a major by the end of the second year (or equivalent), so learning about and preparing for a major is a primary goal for first-year students.
|
Importance of an early start: |
This is a moderately course-intensive and/or sequential program, and students who intend to pursue this major should begin taking classes for the major in their first or second year at UCSC. |
|
Qualification requirements and/or prerequisites for the major: |
Review Major Qualification Requirements in the General Catalog. |
|
Frosh who intend to pursue this major should do the following things prior to the beginning of fall term... |
Complete the Math Preparation and placement process. You can review your math skills for free to prepare you for placement or your next course. It takes up to three business days for ALEKS PPL placement to be posted in your student record. Completing the assessment by August 5 will ensure your placement is posted before enrollment begins for fall. |
|
...and should take these courses their first term: |
Appropriate math course based on your Math Placement. |
|
Special enrollment procedures: |
Enroll online during your enrollment appointment. |
|
Sample Academic Plan: |
Review the Sample Academic Plan in the General Catalog. |
|
Other Information: |
Students who intend to pursue the Mathematics majors should not take the Math 11A/B calculus series. The Math 19A/B or Math 20A/B series is required. This is one of three offerings within the Mathematics Department. The Mathematics Bachelor’s of Science, the Mathematics Theory and Computation Bachelor’s of Science, the Mathematics Education Bachelor’s of Arts and the Mathematics Bachelor’s of Arts are all options a student may choose when declaring. A combined major with Economics is also available. Students interested in this possibility should contact the advisor. |
