    Students may also be admitted to the program at the discretion of the Math Majors Committee and should consult the departmental undergraduate advisor.
  2. Requirements: Graduation with honors in mathematics depends upon doing a substantial amount of work in mathematics beyond the requirements of the bachelor's degree. To graduate with departmental honors in mathematics a student must ordinarily maintain a GPA in mathematics greater than 3.5 and write an expository paper on a topic in mathematics that demonstrates knowledge of the subject matter significantly beyond the expectations of the student's course work. The research and writing of the paper is conducted under the supervision of a faculty member with an interest in the subject, and as a part of fulfilling this requirement the student must enroll in either the junior or senior reading class, MATH 3920 or MATH 4920, that counts as an elective in the major. The actual details of the student's program are determined by consulting with the Department's honors advisor and the student's topic supervisor.
