B.S. in Mathematical Sciences

For students with advanced credit for 21-120 & 21-122

This sample schedule is just one possibility for fulfilling the B.S. requirements. Most courses are offered frequently, and there is considerable flexibility.

A Technical Breadth Requirement refers to a technical course required for the MCS General Education Requirements.
A Nontechnical Elective refers to a course in the Dietrich College, the College of Fine Arts or the Tepper School of Business, with exceptions noted on the Mellon College of Science website, which are required to satisfy the MCS General Education Requirements.
A Free Elective may be any course, with the only restriction that the maximum total of ROTC, StuCo, and Physical Education units that will be accepted toward the 360 required for graduation is nine.
