students in all curricula offered by the department of mathematics and statistics are strongly encouraged to take required courses in the semesters specified by the curriculum models in auburn bulletin. failure to do so may delay their graduation. even though some of the required courses may also be offered in other semesters, such off-sequence offerings cannot be guaranteed and may be canceled on short notice due to under-enrollment.  the cancellation of an off-sequence class is not a valid reason for a course substitution.

this curriculum provides students with a general background in mathematics preparing them for graduate studies in mathematics or careers that require mathematical knowledge and problem solving skills. it is well suited for students who wish to pursue a career in teaching mathematics in a university/college, or who desire more flexibility or emphasis in liberal arts.
