Review the objectives for mathematics majors in the document, "Learning Objectives for Mathematics Majors".

If you are considering a Major or Minor in Mathematics, please call Patti Wieclaw, 716-645-8785, or visit the Undergraduate Studies Office, Room 233, Mathematics Building.

Except for transfer students, application for admission to the Mathematics Major is made after admission to UB, and after completion of a certain amount of coursework. Students are usually admitted after passing MTH 141-142-241 with a 2.5 GPA. See UB Admissions.

Transfer students normally apply for admission to UB and to one of the Mathematics undergraduate programs at the same time.

International students: See UB International Undergraduate Admissions.

For general information about our undergraduate program, see the UB Undergraduate Catalog.
