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.

²Math 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

³Probability & 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

⁴Analysis 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

⁵Computing Electives - choose one of the following:

• COMP.1000 Media Computing
• COMP.1010 / COMP.1030L Computing I w/Lab (STEM)
• MATH.2720 Intro to Programming with MATLAB
• MATH.4190 Mathematica
• MATH.5760 Statistical Programming using SAS

⁶Courses used by Math majors to satisfy the STEM requirement must be taken outside of Mathematics and Statistics. If the course used to satisfy the Computing elective is not a STEM course, then at least one free elective will need to be a STEM course outside of Mathematics and Statistics.

⁷See advisor for guidance on completing this requirement.

⁸BA Mathematics Elective – Students must complete an approved 18-credit-hour (six-course) concentration outside the Division of Sciences. These courses may lead to a minor or may cross departments. This concentration must be planned as a unified, coherent whole rather than a series of unrelated courses and must be approved by the mathematics undergraduate coordinator or department chair.

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 54 credits of MATH coursework may be applied towards the minimum 120 credits requirement to graduate.

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

Restriction on off-campus study:

Be advised that any course taken at another institution must be formally approved prior to enrollment. See the catalog policy for details.
