Overview
The Department of Mathematics offers both the AB degree and the BS degree. Students who plan to attend graduate school in mathematics or the sciences should consider working toward the BS degree, which requires at least eight courses in mathematics numbered Mathematics 230 or above. The AB degree requires at least seven courses in mathematics numbered Mathematics 230 or above. At least half of the major/minor courses numbered above 212 should be taken at Duke. In particular, Mathematics 401 (or 501) and 431 (or 531) should be taken at Duke.
The director of undergraduate studies can be consulted for additional information and advice on course selection. The Handbook for Mathematics Majors and Minors, published by the department, can be used as a guide in developing a coherent program of study consistent with professional goals.
