| Students must complete three additional courses in fields related to mathematics such as science, engineering, economics, finance, decision sciences, and computer science. A list of approved courses will be maintained by the undergraduate mathematics advisor. These three courses are in addition to the two science courses required as part of the General Education requirements, as well as the CS 131-133 required sequence. . | ||||
|
||||
| * Math majors must pass Math 121 with a grade of B or higher. | ||||

| Writing-Intensive Course Requirements In order to graduate, all students must pass three writing-intensive courses after their freshman year. Two writing-intensive courses must be in a student's major. The third can be in any discipline. Students are advised to take one writing-intensive class each year, beginning with the sophomore year, and to avoid “clustering” these courses near the end of their matriculation. Transfer students need to meet with an academic advisor to review the number of writing-intensive courses required to graduate. A "WI" next to a course in this catalog may indicate that this course can fulfill a writing-intensive requirement. For the most up-to-date list of writing-intensive courses being offered, students should check the Writing Intensive Course List on the Drexel University Writing Center page. Students scheduling their courses in Banner/DrexelOne can also conduct a search for courses with the attribute "WI" to bring up a list of all writing-intensive courses available that term. |
