Entry requirements

University-wide (not specific to this major): first-year admission to UGA is competitive and based mainly on grades in core academic courses (English, mathematics, science, social science, foreign language), course rigor and SAT or ACT scores, with no fixed minimums; current students apply to the major through their college. Major-specific entrance requirements: All students must meet the following minimum qualifications to be admitted: - Overall GPA of 2.75 or higher. - Grade of "C" (2.0) or higher in MATH 2250, MATH 2260, MATH 3200 (These courses may be in progress at the time of application.) - Documented completion of at least 30 clock hours of tutoring students in mathematics of grades 6-12 in a structured setting. This requirement must be met by December 1st of the application semester. A student who has been admitted for a given semester and is unable to enroll will automatically be allowed into the next cohort they are able to join, assuming they still meet the minimum qualifications. Students who have been denied admission can reapply as many times as they wish.
