Mathematics, BA, Two-Year Plan

Transfer plan for the Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics

Sample Plan for New Students

This is a sample and not the only way to complete this plan. Number of credits are in parentheses. Some classes have prerequisites.

The example below assumes that you enter Seattle University with junior standing (90 credits), have earned a transferable associate degree, and have successfully completed an equivalent to the following:

  • Two quarters of Programming courses 
  • Three quarters of Calculus courses
  • One quarter of Calculus-based Physics and two Lab Science courses (refer to SU course catalog)

Visit the Transfer Equivalency Guide for more information. Some courses not listed on the Transfer Equivalency Guide may still transfer to SU. For courses not found on this tool, compare course descriptions with SU’s Course Catalog to determine equivalent courses at your college/university.

Important Major Information

  • Minimum Credits to Graduate: 180
  • Credits in Major: 63
  • Minimum Major GPA: 2.0 
  • Minimum Cumulative GPA: 2.0
