Minton, Staniunas, Taylor, Wills The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in mathematics requires the completion of 13 units of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. These units must include Math 122, 131, 201, 331, 361, 431, 491, Statistics 202, CPSC 120, and four additional units in mathematics or statistics numbered 300-level or above. Minor in Mathematics A minor in mathematics will require six units, including MATH 121, 122, 131, 201 and two additional units in mathematics or statistics. One of these additional units must be at the 200 level or above and the other must be at the 300 level or above. 101 Contemporary Mathematics
