³	Upper Division Mathematics courses (3000 or higher). The student must complete three Upper-Division sequences. The approved sequences are organized into Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics categories as shown below. The student must complete at least one sequence from each category. Depending upon which Upper-Division sequences are chosen, a student will need to take between 9 and 18 credit hours of Upper-Division Mathematics classes in addition to the Mathematics courses specifically listed as required in the curriculum.
