Total Minimum Credits = 120.

¹The Arts and Humanities (AH) and Social Sciences (SS) perspectives are subsets of the Breadth of Knowledge (BOK) requirements in the Core Curriculum. No more than two BOK courses can be taken with the same four-letter prefix.

The Core Curriculum also includes seven Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs). The Diversity and Cultural Awareness (DCA) ELO and the Social Responsibility and Ethics (SRE) ELO are satisfied outside the major requirements. See the DCA course listing and the SRE course listing for a full list of classes that fulfill these requirements. The Class Search tool can be used to identify AH and SS courses that simultaneously satisfy the DCA or SRE requirement.

The Core Curriculum courses may be taken in any sequence. Refer to the Core Curriculum policy for further details. You should meet with your college-based professional advisor and/or faculty advisor to determine how best to satisfy the Core Curriculum requirements.

²All Kennedy College of Sciences (KCS) majors in BS programs must complete a minimum of 60 credits of KCS coursework. These can be required or elective courses for majors in KCS departments or KCS courses specifically designated as appropriate for science majors. Courses with titles indicating they are for non-science majors or explicitly designated for non-science majors in the course description cannot be used toward this 60-credit requirement.

³Math BS majors, when completing their Core Breadth of Knowledge (BOK) requirement for the Sciences with Lab Perspective (SCL), must select courses from the departments of Biology, Chemistry, EEAS, or Physics. Courses with titles indicating they are for non-science majors or explicitly designated for non-science majors in the course description cannot be used toward this requirement.

⁴Math electives: any MATH course at 3000 level or above, except: MATH.3600, MATH.3630, MATH.3810, MATH.3860, MATH.4100, MATH.4190, MATH.4660, MATH.4960, MATH.5100, MATH.5550, MATH.5760

⁵Probability & Statistics Electives - choose one of the following:

• MATH.3850 Applied Statistics
• MATH.3860 Probability and Statistics I
• MATH.4070 Probability & Math Statistics I
• MATH.4860 Probability & Math Statistics II

⁶Analysis I Electives - choose one of the following:

• MATH.4030 Mathematical Analysis
• MATH.4110 Complex Variables I
• MATH.5010 Real Analysis
• MATH.5110 Complex Variables I

⁷Applied and Computational Mathematics Elective – choose one of the following:

• MATH.3020 Introduction to Applied Mathematics II
• MATH.3220 Discrete Structures II
• MATH.4030 Mathematical Analysis
• MATH.4110 Complex Variables I
• MATH.4450 Partial Differential Equations
• MATH.4480 Mathematics of Signal Processing
• MATH.4500 Mathematical Modeling

⁸See advisor for guidance on completing this requirement.

⁹Free electives can be satisfied by any UML course xxxx.1010 or above, with the following exceptions:

• Students only need to complete enough free elective credits to reach 120 total credits.
• Courses with the MATH prefix must be at or above the level of MATH.1225 Precalculus Mathematics I in order to count towards the minimum 120 credits required to graduate.
• No more than 60 credits of MATH coursework may be applied towards the minimum 120 credits requirement to graduate.

¹⁰MATH.1020 is strongly recommended for students in their first year. If this course is completed, then total free electives are reduced by one credit.

Current UMass Lowell students should use their Advisement Report in SIS. If you need assistance, please contact your advisor.
