The undergraduate degree sample program illustrations which are displayed below can be used as  "modeling tools"  in order to construct a  "semester-by-semester"  course registration schedule for each of the four years required to earn a major in mathematics.  By using these sample programs as  "guides,"  course and schedule revisions and modifications could be implemented in order to  "customize"  these program plans to individual needs and desires.   The below presented plans include both the General & Extended Math Majors designed to prepare graduates for Employment in Industry and/or Graduate Studies in Mathematics, and the Certifiable Math Majors designed to prepare graduates to Teach Secondary Level Mathematics or complete a Major in Middle Grades Mathematics.  Further details regarding these available program aspirations are available at this hypertext link for  Undergraduate Majors .
