The honors program is open to Junior and Senior mathematics majors who have completed at least two upper-division MAT courses with grades of B or higher and who have maintained a 3.0 overall grade point average. A prospective honors major must declare to the director of undergraduate studies an intention to participate in the program, sometime before registering for the Senior year.

The program consists of a set of six MAT courses, at least three of which are not used to fulfill the MAT major requirements. These courses must include: MAT 316, MAT 322, MAT 401, a course in algebra other than MAT 310 and MAT 318; and MAT 495. Substitution of appropriate graduate courses is permitted, and other substitutions are possible at the discretion of the undergraduate director.

Conferral of honors is contingent upon:

• Completion of the set of six courses with a grade point average of at least 3.5.
• Approval for honors by the faculty member (or members) who supervises MAT 495.
