BS Mathematics - TUG

Gardner-Webb University's BS Mathematics Program will provide you with a superior undergraduate education and to prepare its graduates to make significant contributions for God and humanity by emphasizing the quantitative and analytical reasoning skills of a liberal-arts-based education in a Christian community of faith and learning.

In addition to the University’s required general education and prerequisites, an additional 33 hours of credit is required for the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree. Required courses represent 27 hours, while six additional hours will come from elective courses. The degree also requires the completion of CISS 201: Programming Language I.

This degree plan is an example of student progression through the program. Academic departments reserve the right to alter the term in which a course is offered.
