Business Option for Applied or Discrete Mathematics

Business Option for Applied or Discrete Mathematics

Students in the College of Science business track complete 15 credits of approved coursework covering the principles of accounting, economics, and management (Areas A, B, and C). Two electives (D) allow students to take advanced coursework in these areas, or to explore the legal, international, entrepreneurial, technological or financial aspects of the business world.

Note that some of the elective courses (D) have prerequisites. Your choice of classes in Areas A, B, and C will influence the selection of elective classes available to you.

Some of the Management courses in Areas C and D require junior or senior standing. To minimize conflicts in scheduling these courses, students are recommended to take other courses, especially those carrying social science credit, at the earliest possible time in their major's eight-term plan.

Students pursuing the business option typically take PSYC 1101 as part of the Social Sciences requirement, and five classes in Areas A-D as outlined below. Note that PSYC 2220 and ECON 2106 also carry social science credit. Accordingly, these three classes, together with one US/Georgia history/constitution course, may be used to complete the 12-credit Social Sciences requirement.

Students must complete one course from each of categories A-C, and two from category D, with a minimum grade of D.

Applied Mathematics Program:  Six of the credit hours from the list of management (MGT) courses will replace six hours of engineering or science electives in the Applied Mathematics program, and the other management course(s) will count as free electives.  Applied Mathematics majors in this option must still fulfill the other requirements for the Applied Mathematics undergraduate degree.

Discrete Mathematics Program:  Six of the credit hours from the list of management (MGT) courses will replace six hours of the nine hours of technical electives in the Discrete Mathematics program, and the other management course(s) will count as free electives.  Discrete Mathematics majors in this option must still fulfill the other requirements for the Discrete Mathematics undergraduate degree.
