College of Arts and Sciences (CAS)
The Bachelor of Science in mathematics - concentration in actuarial
science - is designed specifically for students whose career goals
include the actuarial field.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics is a strong liberal arts
degree. The degree requires a minor, and it is suitable for anyone
wanting a degree in mathematics while at the same time taking
several courses in a different discipline.
The department expects any graduate with a major in mathematics
to have the following abilities: (1) to analyze and solve problems
using techniques of undergraduate mathematics; (2) to undertake
independent study of literature in mathematics; (3) to communicate
in both oral and written form the results of mathematical problems
and/or investigations; and (4) to use technology in solving
mathematical problems.
ACU's elementary mathematics courses are planned so that students
who take precalculus or calculus start at a level suitable to their
preparation. Placement in these courses is based on results of the
COMPASS placement exam.
Credit by examination for calculus is available through national exams.
See "Credit by Examination" brochure available in the Testing Office.
Study Abroad Expectations
All students are encouraged to participate in ACU's Study Abroad
program. Classes offered at Study Abroad sites vary depending on
the site. Academic advisors can assist students in planning ahead for
their Study Abroad experience and should be consulted during the
freshman year.
