"Mainstream" majors that are not findable "everywhere"

[ihs76]

<p>

In the Montana State example you cited, it might be that MSU simply doesn’t enroll enough students who qualify to major in math (or, their students tend to major in more vocational, direct application fields), rather than trying to cut costs.

</p>

<p>Couple of points: MT actually has a surplus, and although there have been cuts, it has been fairly painless. And yes, it is heavily weighted towards application fields. It does offer engineering however.</p>

<p>ucb: I found this full math dept course listing which is rather more palatable and includes graduate courses which I assume UG can take:</p>

<p>[MSU</a> Catalog - Mathematics Courses](<a href=“http://www.montana.edu/wwwcat/courses/m.html#MATH%20431]MSU”>http://www.montana.edu/wwwcat/courses/m.html#MATH%20431)</p>

<p>It includes many courses that appear to only be offered every other year. I do not know why none of these appear on the first list but when I ran a search, they are real courses that students signed up for. </p>

<p>However, my original point in the other thread was that there is no Real Analysis course at the undergrad level and only 1 semester at the grad level, and that is true. Also, only 1 semester of Abstract Algebra is offered which I also think is inadequate.</p>
