  At least 15 four-unit, upper-division mathematics, except:

a. 2 upper division electives may be outside the department in an approved applied mathematical area. A petition approved by a Math Advisor is required. No such units may also be used for a minor or program of concentration.

b. MAE 107, Econ 120A-B-C, Math 195-199 cannot be counted toward the upper-division requirements.

To be prepared for a strong major curriculum, students should complete the last three quarters of the 20 sequence and Mathematics 109 before the end of their sophomore year.
