020 Core Code
*MATH 2417 & 2419 are lower-division major requirements that also satisfy the 6 hour Mathematics and Quantitative
Reasoning core curriculum requirement.
^Students may need to take additional Mathematics courses so that the total number of hours in Mathematics credited
to them is at least that specified in the degree requirements. Consult with an advisor.
Note: UTD's accelerated two-semester calculus sequence, MATH 2417 and MATH 2419, is equivalent to the three-semester calculus sequence offered at
community colleges. Students must take Calculus I (MATH 2413), Calculus II (MATH 2414), and Calculus III (MATH 2415) in order to be equivalent to UTD
MATH 2417 and MATH 2419. Students are strongly urged to start and complete the entire sequence either at the community college, or at UTD. If students
choose to take Calculus I, II, and III, there may be prerequisite courses required. These courses would not be applicable towards the degree plan.

Advanced Upper-Division Major Requirements (54 hours beyond core curriculum):
(See ECS Academic Advisor)
III. ELECTIVE REQUIREMENTS (8 Semester Hours)
Advanced Electives (2 Hours):
All students are required to take at least six hours of advanced electives outside of their major field of study.
These electives must be either upper-division classes or lower-division classes that require prerequisites.
Four of these hours may be satisfied with MATH 2420 counted under Major Preparatory Courses.
Free Electives (6 Hours):
Both lower-division and upper-division course may count as free electives but students must complete at
least 51 hours of upper-division credit to qualify for graduation. Please consult with your advisor.
A MINIMUM OF 127 SEMESTER HOURS IS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION WITH AT LEAST
51 UPPER-DIVISION HOURS
Note: Core options listed reflect the TCCNS courses. Other courses that may potentially qualify for core requirements must be
petitioned through an academic advisor or the department housing the student's major.
UTD does not accept vocational or technical courses in certificate or applied science programs, nor courses offered through the
Workforce Education Course Manual (WECM), nor developmental courses. Course credit awarded with no grade will not be accepted.
Consult the current online UTD catalog for complete degree plan requirements.
