1) It is recommended that these courses will be chosen from among those that are specified for one of the specific concentration areas described in the KSU Mathematics Major Handbook. A copy of this handbook can be obtained electronically at http://math.kennesaw.edu/majorshandbook or can be obtained from the departmental office (SC 509). A minimum of 24 of the 27 hours of upper division concentration-based electives must be courses at the 3000 or 4000 level. (Up to 3 hours of upper level concentration-based electives can be satisfied using “overflow” hours that have been accumulated from science courses taken in Area D.) Each student is strongly encouraged to meet with his/her advisor at least once per semester in order to ensure that the student remains on track toward completion of the selected program of study.

 

2) The capstone experience might be an internship, faculty-directed research project, or special topics course. All Capstone experiences require pre-approval by the department curriculum committee. This approval process must be initiated by the student (through his or her advisor) at least one semester before the capstone experience is to be undertaken.
