Recommended Language Preparation. Bachelor of Science degree candidates are advised, but not required, to satisfy the same language requirement as that for a Bachelor of Arts degree candidate, and to fulfill it in French, German, or Russian.  
Major Advisers. For a current list of faculty advisers, contact the Student Services office at studentservices@math.ucdavis.edu, or our see Web site.  
Depth Subject Matter Requirements. Certain mathematically oriented courses given by other departments are admissible in partial satisfaction of the depth subject matter requirements with prior departmental approval. Up to three units of Math 194 may be counted toward the depth subject matter requirements. Additionally, up to three units of Math 189, Math 198, and Math 199, can be counted.
Statement of Objectives. As early as possible, but no later than the last quarter of the sophomore year or no later than the beginning of the first quarter of the junior year for transfer students, each prospective mathematics major, in consultation with a faculty adviser, should file a formal program of study in one of the majors offered in mathematics. Forms to be used for this are available on our Web site or from the Department office. Failure to file a formal program could lead to a delay in graduation.
Information for Undergraduates. Assistance in planning an undergraduate major program in mathematics is available on our Web site, as well as by consulting a faculty adviser.  

Mathematics Placement Requirement. Students who wish to enroll in Mathematics 12, 16A, 17A, 21A, 21AH, 36 and 67 must satisfy the mathematics placement requirement. See the Department of Mathematics’ Web page for details well in advance of enrolling. Students who do not satisfy the requirement will be administratively dropped from these courses. Dates and times for the Precalculus Diagnostic Exam, one of the ways to meet this requirement, are posted on the Learning Skills Center Web page. The Center also provides review materials, review workshops, and other recommended remedial math courses.

The Mathematics Placement Requirement is waived when one of the following conditions is met: (a) Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam score of 4 or 5; (b) Advanced Placement Calculus BC exam score of 3, 4, or 5; (c) a score of 700 or above on the Mathematics section of the SAT Reasoning Test; or (d) in either of the SAT Mathematical Subject tests (Level 1 or Level 2) a score of 700 and above.

  

Honors and Honors Program. Students who have completed at least 135 units with a minimum GPA of 3.500 in courses counted towards their major are automatically admitted to the Honors Program. Students who are eligible will be notified of their standing by the department at the beginning of the Fall quarter of their senior year.

Students in the Honors Program who meet the minimum GPA requirement and who complete a senior project in consultation with their faculty adviser may also be recommended by the department for graduation with High Honors or Highest Honors. Recommendations will be based on evaluations of students' academic achievements in their major and the quality of their senior project. For complete details, see our Web site at http://www.math.ucdavis.edu.
