Major: Bachelor of Science

• At least eight Math courses above MATH 63CM/MATH 63DM.

• MATH 56 may count toward the eight courses.

• STATS 116 (No longer offered), STATS118 opens in a new tab or STATS200 opens in a new tab(at most one among STATS 118 and STATS 200, but not both, and neither if STATS 116 is being used), PHIL 151, & PHIL 152 count as 100-level Math courses. No other classes outside the Math department can count in this way. There are no exceptions to this for any reason.

• The following course do not count toward the Math Course Requirement:

  MATH 190, MATH 193, MATH193X opens in a new tab, MATH197 opens in a new tab, MATH198 opens in a new tab, and MATH199 opens in a new tab (MATH 190, MATH193X and MATH199 can count towards the Elective Course Requirement, see below.)

• Up to 10 units of Single Variable Calculus can be used as part of the Math Course Requirement.

  • If you have not earned 10 units of single-variable calculus credit but have Math course credit that affirms your mastery of single-variable calculus, please email mathstudentservices@stanford.edu and specify what that course credit is (it must entail substantial use of both derivatives and integrals). Examples include Math 51 + either Math 52 or Math 53, Math 61CM, or Math 61DM + 63DM. To fulfill the Math Major, you will need to make up whatever portion of such 10 units you don’t have on your transcript, but can do so with approved electives.

• Only Math 50/60CM/60DM series and first-year calculus can be double-counted toward any other major or minor (Note: The completion of 15 units from the multivariable math sequences is recommended but not a requirement, and at most 15 of such units can be used towards the major).

• MUSIC 423: Limit of three units.

• PHIL 151 & PHIL 152: This may count toward either the Math Course Requirement or Elective Course Requirement, but not both.

• PHYSICS 41 and 61 are mandatory S/NC grading, so at most, one may be counted as a Math elective.

• STATS 116 (No longer offered) and STATS 118 or STATS 200 (at most one, but not both, and neither if STATS 116 is being used) may count toward the Math Course Requirement or Elective Course Requirement, but not both.

All majors, including transfer students, need to complete the WIM requirement.

The two course options for fulfilling WIM, Math 190 and Math 195, are each offered twice per year in Fall and in Winter.  Enrollment in each of these courses is limited to officially approved Math majors, and is done via an application process that begins near the end of the preceding Spring (all Math majors who have not fulfilled WIM will be contacted about applying in late Spring).  

Math 190 is a 3-unit class with background prerequisites in proof-based math (such as Math 113 or 115 with a grade of at least B)  and does not entail learning new mathematics, so it does not count as one of the eight 100-level classes toward the Math major but does count as an elective. It can be taken in the second year or later. 

Math 195 is a 4-unit class limited to senior Math majors only, and also fulfills the capstone requirement. This course entails learning new mathematics, and as such it does count as one of the eight 100-level classes toward the Math major.
