Degree Plan – BS Math Major at Excelsior

[NAP]

Hi Alissa and Sunshine!

Thank you for your excellent responses! You’ve made a lot of good points.

(Alissa, I’ll reply more to your post later.)

It is my understanding that a Bachelor of Science degree is the normal route for a Math or Science major compared to a Bachelor of Arts.

I would love to get a double major! Currently Excelsior does not offer majors in Biochemistry or Computer Science. (Maybe I could request it anyway?) I have been hoping they would offer them as Areas of Focus which I consider to be like minors and would be very happy to have.

That is a great point. I am extremely low in graded credits - maybe even lower than you think if Statistics overlaps with the Math GRE. I have not seen this requirement in the master’s program but I have not asked about it either. For now, I’m planning to risk it and either find a way into the master’s program or find another program and possibly transfer.

Thank you for your encouragement. It is wonderful to get wisdom from people who are ahead of me in this process.
