Admissions Requirements
GPA
It is expected that applicants to this program will have an overall minimum GPA of 2.7 (A = 4.0). However, a 3.0GPA is required for all transfer mathematics coursework completed.
Coursework
You must complete transfer coursework equivalent to the following University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign courses by the term you’re submitting your application:
Students With Fewer Than 50 Transferable Credit Hours at Time of Application
If you’ll apply to Illinois with fewer than 50 transferable credit hours, you must complete transfer coursework equivalent to the following University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign courses by the term you’re submitting your application:
- MATH 220, Calculus
- MATH 231, Calculus II
If you plan to transfer with 45 or more completed transferable hours and have not completed an equivalent to MATH 241, Calculus III, the length of time to degree completion may increase.
Students With 50 or More Transferable Credit Hours at Time of Application
If you’ll apply to Illinois with 50 or more transferable credit hours, you must also complete transfer coursework equivalent to the following University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign courses by the term you’re submitting your application:
- MATH 241, Calculus III
Admissions Recommendations
Coursework
Although it isn’t required that you do so in order to be admitted, we also highly recommend that you complete transfer coursework equivalent to the following University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign courses before or during the term you’re submitting your application:
- MATH 257, Linear Algebra with Computational Applications
- Or Math 415, Applied Linear Algebra
- RHET 105, Writing & Research (at most institutions, the equivalent requires a two-course English composition sequence)
- An introductory statistics course
It is strongly recommended that a calculus sequence comparable to Illinois’ MATH 220, Calculus, MATH 231, Calculus II and MATH 241, Calculus III, be completed prior to transfer to either program of study.
Courses comparable to MATH 225, Introductory Matrix Theory are beneficial to prepare and transition into the Statistics major. However, MATH 225 does not satisfy major degree requirements. Courses comparable to STAT 100, Statistics, are beneficial to prepare and transition into the Statistics major, however STAT 100 does not satisfy major degree requirements.
Graduation Requirements
To graduate, all students are required to complete at least 45 semester hours of credit at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. At least 21 of these credit hours must be at the 300 or 400 level.
General Education Courses
Included in our graduation requirements are general education (gen ed) courses. These classes allow you to gain and use broad knowledge beyond the specialized learning you’ll do through your major. Learn more about our general education requirements. You may be able to use Transferology to find gen ed courses that will transfer over from your institution to Illinois.
Language Other than English
Although this program doesn’t require you to complete our language graduation requirement for admission, we strongly encourage you do so before transferring.
