Mathematics Transfer Tips
Students may earn a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mathematics in one of three tracks:
- Program A is for students who plan to work in business or government or pursue graduate study in Mathematics
- Program B is for students who seek secondary school teaching licensure
- Program C is for those seeking specialization in a math-related area, such as actuarial science, biochemistry, biomathematics, biostatistics, chemistry, computer science, data science, economics, engineering (all departments), finance, physics, risk management and insurance, or statistics
Students may complete the following courses, if available, before transferring. A minimum of 15 s.h. post-calculus coursework must be completed at the University of Iowa Department of Mathematics.
- MATH:1850 Calculus I
- MATH:1860 Calculus II
- MATH:2700 Intro to Linear Algebra
Prospective math majors in Program C should check the math department website for additional major courses in the area of specialization that may be transferred.
Transfer students with an AA degree from an Iowa Community College, or Black Hawk College in Illinois, will enter the University having fulfilled all of the General Education Program requirements (except World Language and Diversity & Inclusion) in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Prospective transfer students should contact the University of Iowa Office of Admissions, 319-335-1566, for information about applying.
Prospective Mathematics majors should contact Emma Kirk, emma-kirk@uiowa.edu, 319-335-0793, with questions about the major.
